BACKSTAB

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 small-sized piercing weapon, such as a dagger or
stilletto. The damage inflicted by a backstab is determined by the
attacker's level, his weapon proficiency, his backstab proficiency, and
the power and maneuverability of his opponent.

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.

REQUIREMENTS
* You must be a Rogue or Bard in order to make use of this skill.
* In order to practice this skill you must have achieved at least 10%
Combat Complexity Comprehension.
* This skill may not be used while you are behind another character in
your formation.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
* The Powers consider this skill a tool of malice.
