kinda weird, how backstab works, though im sure theres a perfectly logical answer to it(even if no-one knows it).

EDIT: the only explenation i can think of is that the str bonus is added to the damage before the backstab multiplication, thus making a max of 105 damage for your character. this would also make sense since it would be pretty realistic that the strenght with which you thrust your weapon into your foes back would count with the actual hit, not something that hits after the actual BS.
