Does anyone have a list of all the game's combat modifiers? Are there bonuses for attacking from behind, or from the flank? What about invisible, or hiding in shadows?

I have an elven ranger with strength 13, and he's specialized in short swords (+1 to hit, +2 damage). I attacked someone today with a +3 short sword and my attack roll was 8 + 11 = 19. Someone please tell me how on earth my combat bonuses are getting so high.

By my count, he gets +1 for being specialized, +3 for the sword, and maybe +1 for an elf using a short sword (I'm not sure if the game gives elves +1 w/ short swords). That should be +5 tops. How the ■■■■ did it get up to +11? It wasn't my favored enemy, and I didn't have any spell bonuses.
