I love backstabbing (Assassins rule), but there are some problems
Most annoying is the Backstab failed (dragons/beholders etc) - this, stupidly IMO, includes the Assassinate ability (ToB).
Then it doesn't work if you're invisible - only if you're stealthed. Even if you're invisible you can't stealth if an enemy can see you. Why?
Actually the best thing is when someone or thing makes you blind (Dust mephits spring to mind). Because it restricts your vision it makes it easier to make them hidden. Therefore you can stealth again. Maybe they should be renamed to "Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal"
Still, backstabbing is tops. Traps are cool too.
