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.
