This is something I could use some instruction on: I have two thieves in my current parties. One is a mc thief(level12?)/illusionist and one is a dc fighter/thief (currently thief lvl 11, with fighter 10 skills reactivated).
One character has backstab active and one has crippling strike; but I have never gotten either character to successfully carry out a successful attack with these skills. Admittedly, I haven't tried too hard, since I use my mage/thief mostly as a mage in battles; and my fighter/thief mostly as a fighter. But still, I have tried a few times. I know to hide in shadows; but still have have no luck: not even a message that I suspect might go something like, "Backstab unsuccessful."
Is there a trick to successful backstabbing? Does weapon proficiency affect the outcome? Can you backstab with a short sword? Is there a different technique to use for crippling strike?
What's a party,
without a song?
Bards ROCK!
Party on!!
