with all the perfect conditions a player character has to achieve in order to backstab, those stinking rune assassins at the tanner's just drink a potion and "back" stab me in the face! what's up with that?!?

I'm having similar problems, but with a different matter. If you raise the difficulty level above the Core Rules, then it seems that monsters and enemies get criticals a lot more than they usually do. I think it's like a +3 bonus or something.. I really don't see it as fair. I'm playing in BG1 right now, and a Xvart did 40 sum damage for a critical. When I attacked Minsc, he got a critical of 60. Unless you want a challenge, then don't raise the difficulty (you don't get any added experience either).

The bioware guys responded to that before, the problem was why go to the insane amounts of trouble (writing it into the engine) to make them walk around you and then hit its not like the ai is great to begin with. The effort wasnt worth and when the player knows there are assasins around he occasionaly turns around they have to go around again so it recked the ability.

They are tough for sure. I noticed an odd thing with them guys, if you're in the room with them you "see" them quaff potion after potion and turn invisible, yet I managed to kill one before he quaffed anything and when I checked his corpse he had no invisibility potions on him....weird or what.

some items can be labeled as "Non-drop", as in they disappear when the monster dies. That's probably the same situation.

Indeed. Remember how many times it would state that a critical hit was diverted by helmet and when said monster was dead you couldn't find a helmet.
