Shattered Kingdoms

Rogues can backstab, and they can do it well, we all know this.

I've seen about ten attempts of other classes backstabing, and it never works (they almost cut their own finger off), unless the target is asleep.

Is there a chance that it will work? and if you do it to a sleeping target, does it help?

Thanks, everyone!

yea you can use the BS command with anyclass, but it will only work if you are a rogue! no one else needs BS it can be quite a annoying thing...

It always lands i think when they are asleep.

I have often pondered a giant shaman using sleep and backstabbing someone.

Anybody can backstab a sleeping target.

And it's as strong as if you were a rogue?

You cannot backstab targets put to sleep by magical means.

Yes, but you can't get a second backstab attack as a non-rogue.

I think that this begs the question: Does a rogue who bs a sleeping target, does it do more damage?

If you attack a sleeping person, will your first attack do more damage?
Backstab is really just a damage modifier I believe from what Big D has stated. So it takes a hit and multiplies it by some number. So if a target sleeping does more damage, then i imagine bs would. Also if they woke up before the second bs, or after might be interesting to note.

At least im pretty sure they can't dodge or parry while asleep.

Who cares, backstab does enough damage on its own to drop victims without them resting or sleeping. Technically it does do more damage but you're not likely to really care because the second backstab will drop the victim in 99% of cases.
