Backstab

Syntax: backstab

All assassins can do significant damage to an opponent, but please note:

• Backstab can only be used at the beginning of combat.
• The chance to succeed is greatly increased if the assassin is hiding.
• The damage is greatly dependent upon the wielded weapon and how appropriate it is for stabbing.
• Races with long claws can backstab relatively well when they are weaponless.

HM assassins will slow their target after a successful backstab.
