Hehe, why of course. I think about 30%(or more) of all the monsters in my last two games were backstabbed.

If you don't know how to do it, here is how:
Have the thief hide in shadows, or use a invisibility potion, or let a mage cast an invisibility spell on him/her, then you walk behind the target, pause, use either a longsword, a katana or a shortsword and attack. The thief should do x3-x5 damage depending on what level your thief is, unless he/she has such a bad THACO that he/she misses. A fighter/thief almost never miss a backstab which can't be said about the singleclassed thief. In the beginning, the singleclassed thief's THACO is good enough to backstab, becuase there are a little easier monsters, but later on it becomes tougher for the thief.
