This one is about backstabbing....Is there some special technique to backstabbing?

I am currently playing an 11th level assassin...Hide in shadows is like 110 and move silently is like 80....I am wielding the Blade of Roses+3 and have on the Girdle of Hill Giant Strength (so I have a pretty good THACO)....As well as multiple stealth enhancing magical items....

Here's the deal: I normally spread out my characters in a room or area and have them lay in wait while my tank goes out and lures monsters into ambush. I have my assassin hide in shadows, usually in a corner of the room...When the tank gets the monsters into the room, he and the rest of the party engage them pretty close to the center of the room....Then, I have my assassin slip up behind them (still hiding in shadows) and attack...

I have worked about 1/2 of the side quests in chapter 2 so far, so, I have been on this current game for quite a while...IN THIS ENTIRE TIME, I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY BACKSTABBED 2 TIMES...OUT OF LIKE 50-60 ATTEMPTS.....

What is the deal!?!?!? Am I doing something wrong!?!?!? Or is this just another example of my usual hideous luck on the dice rolls!?!?!?!?

Hmm, looks like you're doing everything correct, so it probably is the dices who are treating you bad. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Though 2 out of 50-60 sounds pretty weird...
But I'm not fully sure about this, backstabbing aint exactly my favourite thing.
