Whar are the pre-requisites to a successful backstab?

1. Thief must be stealthed or invisible.
2. Thief must be behind the victim.
3. Thief must use a melee weapon that a single-class thief would be able to use.
4. Have I left out anything?

Is it possible for a thief who fulfils the conditions above, miss the backstab but stillhit the target (ie does onyl normal damage)? Or would a successful hit be an automatic backstab?
