Well, I've tried it out and my fighter/thief does 10 dmg with a short sword +1 with a sneak attack.
Now that I think about it, how does backstab work? (Goes to show how often I've used it, lol). I've alwys thought that the thief needs to go invisible (potion or hide in shadows), sneak up to the victim, err target's back and WHAMMO!
Would it work in melee combat as well? Say my tank is engaging a monster and I get the thief to move to the monster's rear. When she attacks, would the first (nad maybe subsequent) attack be counted as a backstab?
