BACKSTAB
Combat School Complexity Rating: 10% Easy Classes Allowed: Rogue, Bard
NAME
backstab - stab an opponent in the back with a piercing weapon
SYNOPSIS
backstab <victim name>
DESCRIPTION
Backstab is the favored attack of thieves, murderers, and other rogues.
It can be used with any dagger, hook or other weapon designated as piercing.
The damage inflicted by a backstab is (((weapon's damage * 14) * (strength +
backstab%)) / 100) + damage-backstab.
Backstabbing cannot be done unless one is able to sneak up behind
one's opponent. Therefore backstabbing after a fight has begun is
quite impossible, as is backstabbing an opponent below half health.
Backstabbing while successfully hidden will give the rogue a +2 bonus
to accuracy for that attack. If the attack is successful, then the
rogue will gain a lingering after-effect called 'cunning strike', that
provides an ongoing +2 accuracy boost for up to 1 minute.
