I agree i think that backstab weapons should be limited to daggers possibly shortswords and clubs for coshing. imagine a halfling with a katana for example, it just dont make sense. swords are slashing weapons anyway. celestial fury is the best backstab weapon and can hit for 150 odd points of backstab damage.
