didnt work at first, but after repeated tries, i see you get 4 secs to get the backstab in. ie while hidden you select the poercing weapon, and make the attack before the hidden fails...between selecting a weapon and becoming visible there is short time period, and you have to backstab during this small window. Maybe they(original coders) think that players with no dexterity should not play thieves!
WOuld be much neater to have extra icon for backstab, or like pickpocket the pointer changes gfx when targeting an npc.
I assume spears can backstab? However it appears that there are some ihanded weapons with same damage 1-6.
Looks like dager of venom is best backstabber in bg1? 2-6 xmodifier+15. I assume str bonus is not added to backstab?
