Prerequisite Skill: Hide, light-pierce.
A single high damage strike from the shadows against unengaged enemies.
The Backstab skill enables characters to attempt a sneak attack from behind, delivering a single devastating strike with a light-pierce weapon such as a dagger or dirk. However, it cannot be used against opponents who are actively engaged in combat.
The chances of successfully landing a blow are drastically reduced if the backstabber is not hidden at the time of the attack. This skill rewards stealth and precision, making it a deadly tool in the hands of a skilled assassin.
Backstab makes use of the agility and dexterity attributes.
