Dirty fighting techniques for Elder Scrolls Tabletop RPG?

One of the class abilities that the Stealth classes will be able to take will let them learn dirty fighting techniques. What I need are a few more good ones.

What I have right now include the following, the rules of which are not final:

Below the Belt: A swift blow to the groin area will easily incapacitate an opponent if successful, however, this requires that the opponent is not wearing medium or heavy leg armor. If the attack is successful, the opponent is stunned for 2 rounds.

Biting: This desperate technique can only be made while grappling, and against unarmored parts of the opponent’s body, but will deal Health damage equal to your unarmed strike damage. Argonians and Khajiit receive a +3 bonus to their damage rolls when biting.

Cloth Blind: This technique involves throwing a scrap of cloth to obscure your opponent’s vision for a moment as you move in with an armed attack or unarmed attack. If successful, the opponent is off-guard against your attack and suffers a -4 penalty to Defense as well. (I got this one from the movie Sherlock Holmes)

Eye Jab: This is an unarmed maneuver that, if successful, will blind your opponent for 3 rounds. ("Captain Insane-o shows no mercy")

Foot Stomp: This is an unarmed technique that simply involves stomping on the opponent’s feet with as much force as possible. If successful, the opponent suffers damage to his Speed attribute and is stunned for 1 round.

Throw Dirt/Sand: This technique is similar to the eye jab, but it doesn’t require an Unarmed Combat test to pull off.

Throat Punch: This unarmed technique, if successful, will prevent your foe from speaking for 3 rounds and render him stunned for 1 round.
