Backstab.. The name says it all, the skill is used to stab an unexpecting victim deep into the back, damaging vital organs, and in short, to cause death. The size of the backstabber affects greatly to the chances of sneaking in darkness (the darker, the better), but what you gain in sneaking, you lose in damage because the stabbing is harder, the optimal stab comes from about 45 degrees upwards down the victims back. The abilities of 'shadowdancing', 'move silently' and also mastering the anatomy and knowing where the inner organs are naturally helps the assassin to make a deadly stab. Using the shadowdancing skill before backstab greatly improves the speed of the skill and chance of success.
