Hinder

There's an interesting new combat option in D&D Next. It's called Hinder, and it allows a character to distract, obstruct, or otherwise hinder another creature within five feet. To use this action (in 4e terms, this is a standard action that you would use in place of your attack), you describe the manner in which you intend to hinder the target (I foresee a lot of haggling with DMs here -- I think the description in the rules needs to be tightened up considerably), and then the target has disadvantage on the next relevant ability check or attack roll it makes before your next turn.
