When a thief is invisible(hiding in shadows), he can cause additional damage(depending on character level) when attacking from behind. It is possible to kill enemies with one hit, but remember that the thief gets visible when attacking.

Thieves (excluding swashbucklers) and stalkers can do it. Either Hide in Shadows or make yourself invisible, then go *behind* your target, then attack. You can only use longswords, daggers, scimitars, katanas and the like (excluding 2H swords since thieves can't use them).

If you dual a fighter to a thief, can they backstab with 2h-swords? or am I wrong, and fighter/thiefs dualled still can't use 2h-swords?

best thing to do, is to get a fighter/thief. then go up a few levels, put all points into steal ability, then press little button that looks like a face. when it works, go behind an enemy, and attack him, voila.

a dual or multi fighter/thief can use 2H swords but backstabbing wont work. sometimes i stab with a short sword and switch to the 2H once im revealed.
