	The '''[[pretty name is::Backstab\|backstab]]''' [[page type is::ability]] is a [[guild association is::Thief]]-only [[ability effect is::attack from the shadows at melee using Death from Above]].

	===Weapon choice===
	*Only [[Light Edged skill\|Light Edged weapons]] or [[Medium Edged skill\|Medium Edged weapons]] may be used.Edit as of 2/10/2018 small and med blunt can be used as well now. Also verbiage changed to Blindside but backstab
	still a alias.
	*Maximum weapon weight for backstabbing with a medium edge is the smaller of 30 [[Stones\|stones]] or your current [[Strength (stat)\|Strength]]. Maximum weapon weight for backstabbing with a light edge is 30 stone (no strength check).
	*[[Light Edged skill\|Light Edged weapons]] will do less damage and is more likely to hit than [[Medium Edged skill\|Medium Edged weapons]] of equivalent skill. Conversely, a Medium edge weapon is more difficult to hit with, but does significantly more damage.
	*Backstab damage from the weapon is calculated in a manner similar to a thrust or lunge. The puncture value of the weapon used is the main damage determinant, but the impact and slice contribute as well.

	===Target choice===
	Edit as of 2/10/2018 quadruped and bipedal targets can now be blindsided/back stabbed
	*Backstab success is based on attacker's {{skill\|Backstab}} versus target's {{skill\|Perception}}. The higher the Perception of a creature the more difficult it is to backstab and the more experience will be gained for success.
	*The backstab move targets certain vital areas, and one non-vital area. The targets are determined by the amount of success on the Backstab vs. Perception check. The head, neck, back and arms are the areas which can be struck with a successful backstab.

	The Backstab command does not work against non-bipedal targets (snakes, wolves, jellies, etc.) but the backstab skill can be trained on these targets by hiding and attacking a specific body part (i.e. hide, then 'attack chest' or 'attack right eye' etc.).Edit as of 2/10/2018 this no longer applies after blindside change even non-bipedal targets can be blindsided/back stabbed

	===Successful backstab===
	====Alpha strike====
	The first successful backstab that does damage will do an increased amount of damage, after which it will return to the standard backstab damage for 30 seconds.

	====Death From Above====
	A successful backstab uses the current [[Ability type is::shield ignoring\|DFA]] mechanics which gives the target a 15% defensive penalty on average. With enough Evasion skill the backstab can be successful but evaded. On a successful backstab the Stealth skill of the attacker is checked against the defender's Perception skill, and a damage modifier is added if successful. The higher the success of the Stealth check, the more damage you will do.

	====Increase confidence====
	Backstabbing is tied to the Thief [[Confidence]] system. A successful backstab against an appropriately skilled target will increase confidence while a failed backstab will decrease confidence. {{com\|SMIRK}} {{tt\|[SELF]}} may be used to check confidence level.
