From NecroWiki
| Skill Type: | Combat Skills |
| Format: | backstab [target] |
| Skill Classes: | thief (all) level 1 |
| Requires: | hide, sneak |
| Description: | The most prized skill of thieves, backstab lets a thief sneak up on an unwary victim and land a powerful surprise attack that will deal a great amount of damage. In order to backstab, a thief needs to wield a weapon that can land a piercing attack such as a dagger or a light short sword. The force of this attack will leave the attacking thief stunned for several rounds. If the backstab doesn't succeed in killing the victim, the attacking thief will be vulnerable for several rounds.
-- Each level learned increases the chance of landing a backstab. -- Each level learned increases the damage bonus gained during a backstab. -- Current class thieves deal an additional 100% damage to the target. |
| Comments: | Backstab generally has 2-3 rounds of lag whether you hit or not. If a target is anti-stab, one will not receive lag from it, but the backstab will always fail and combat will be engaged. Tavs also get a much larger bonus to stabbing than any other avatar class. |
