Incorrect. As stated in my Guide, you can Backstab (or Backwhack) with
ANY melee weapon that a pure-class Thief can use, the list of which is:
Daggers
Clubs
Short Swords
Long Swords
Staves (which includes the Staff Mace and Staff Spear)
a very special pair of Scimitars (and the only reason you can use them is because the game think they're Long Swords)
In BG2, these weapons are added to the Backstab list:
Scimitars
Wakizashi
Ninja-To
Katanas
Cleric/Thieves can still Backstab, they simply are limited by their Cleric restriction. They can
use any weapon that a normal Cleric could use, but they can only
Backwhack with weapons usable by both a Cleric AND a Thief.
