This skill is the main focus of the Thief's stealthy assault. The backstab maneuver can only be attempted with light edged or medium edged melee weapon. In order to attempt a backstab one must be hidden and at melee range on your target. The target needs to be of a bipedal species, meaning it has to have a back to stab. 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. When a thief initiates a backstab, the skill check is based off the thief's backstab skill and the target's perception skill. This check sets up if the target is surprised by the move. A successful backstab can not be defended with the shield skill or parry skill, but can still be evaded. The attack uses the weapon skill of the thief against the evasion skill of the victim. This makes it possible to successfully backstab your target, but completely miss them with the attack. |

Uses
Backstab
- Backstab success is based on attacker's backstab skill versus target's Perception skill. The higher the Perception of a creature the more difficult it is to backstab and the more experience will be gained for success.
Ambush
- Backstab skill is also learned when merely Ambushing a creature rather than backstabbing it (only when ambushing a specific body part). This is useful when fighting on quadrupedal or other non-backstabable creatures.
- The Thief may choose a specific body area to hit. The difficulty of the spot determines how well the hit lands and how much is learned. The body targets from easiest to hardest is as follows:
- Leg (left/right)
- Back
- Abdomen
- Chest
- Arms (left/right)
- Hands (left/right)
- Neck
- Head
- Eye (left/right).
- Backstab is also factored in some guild-taught Ambush techniques.
