[EDIT:] Aaaaargh, beaten by less than a minute!
Ha! I got beaten in the BG1 Forum, but this is my turf! Just kidding. [img]smile.gif[/img] Anyway... Fighter/Thief/Mages can use the Mislead Exploit and Greater Whirlwind to REALLY ensure the target does not survive the backstab, or skip the GW and just go on a backstabbing spree for two minutes.
