    [​IMG] the way i do it is i hide in shadows, go behind the character i want to backstaband get really close to the character, then attack the character with a short sword. i haven't tried it with any other melee weapon, so i don't know if it works with other weapons.

    [​IMG] All you do is attack an opponent from behing while hiding in shadows. Certain weapons won't work with this atttack, and there's been much discussion on the boards about it, just do a search on this board and you'll find them.

    Any blade weapon a thief can use should work.
    Dagger, short sword, and long sword.

    Try it while invisible. :D
