Backstabs Explanatory Guide:
----------------------------
So there are 3 main ways to get backstabs:

* Your thief character is unseen. Via hiding/stealth or invisibility
magic. An unseen thief can backstab anyone.
* Flanking. "Flanked" is a kind of condition put on any creatures
that have opponents on directly opposite sides. Flanked is shown
with a red >|< symbol over the flanked creature.
* The target being "Defenceless". "DEFENCELESS" is shown in yellow text
in the lower right hand box when targeting a particular creature, and
is shorthand for a number of conditions/tags that leave a creature
vulnerable to backstabs. The following status tags all give
Defenceless: Panicked, Flat-Footed, Blindness, Stun, Paralyzed,
Immobilized.

A monster that is immune to crits is also immune to backstabs, even if
backstabs are not identical to crits.

The damage of backstab is calculated as follows: base damage (the range
shown on your inventory screen) + (backstab bonus * crit multiplier of
the used weapon). The maximum backstab bonus is 30. So a weapon with 3.7
crit multiplier will at max backstab bonus do (30 * (3,7)) = 111 extra
backstab damage on a backstab hit.

In the combat log, this is shown a bit oddly as base damage + backstab
bonus + weapon backstab mod (which is the extra backstab damage from high
crit multiplier) = final damage, but the result is correct.

Backstabs can crit, but only the base damage is multiplied. So the formula
for a backstab crit is (base damage x crit multiplier) + (backstab bonus
x crit multiplier).

You can backstab with melee and ranged weapons. However, melee weapons
generally have higher crit multipliers, giving them higher backstab damage.
As an “endgame” example, a Masterwork Dagger of the Grand-Master does 5-6
damage and has 3.7 crit mult for a total max backstab damage of 117 plus
modifiers. A Masterwork Shortbow of the Grand-Master does 5-12 dmg and has
2.2 crit mult for a total max of 78 plus mods.

You can not backstab with any Maneuvers available to the Thief (Precise
Strike, Hamstring, Vein Strike, Thrust and Parry, Pierce Armor).
