Backstab (Sn: 209) (Skill)
Help Backstab
Syntax: backstab <victim>bs <victim>
Backstab is the favored attack of thieves, murderers, and other rogues. The
damage inflicted by a backstab is determined by the attacker's level, weapon
skill, backstab skill, and the power of the opponent.
The dagger is the preferred weapon type for backstabbing; other weapon
types are generally not as effective. Only thieves may learn to backstab,
and primary-class thieves will find themselves doing more damage on a
backstab.
Attempting to backstab an opponent, whether successful or not, will raise
its awareness and leaves them too watchful to backstab again for a period
of time. Any enemy, even wounded ones, may be the target of a backstab,
provided they are not still watching their neck from another attempt.
For those lucky enough to gain Enhanced Backstab, please refer to its
own help file for additional information.
