With Rogue Rebalancing installed, the SSoB grants an additional +1 to Backstab modifier, and acts as a +5 weapon in the hands of a Thief (for anyone else it's a regular +3). I don't know if that means it can hit critters like Demi-Liches, though.[/QUOTE]
I didn't know about that, but it is VERY COOL!!! If you are going to call a sword a "Sword of Backstabbing", then it should give thieves an advantage when they try to backstab.
I still like my assassin's sword though. I can't remember the name of the member that made it, but I created specifically with my assassin in mind (even though I had not actually started his game yet). I've always considered it to be like a family heirloom, which is one reason he still prefers to carry it even though he has better weapons available.
Of course, with the Mods installed, he has also become extremely fond of dual-wielding the Stiletto of Demarchess with Torgal's Claw or Pixie Prick. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing your victim fall to the ground asleep or helplessly paralyzed after a successful backstab (provided they actually survived the backstab to begin with 
).
