60 pt backstab, the victim with no body armor or magick protection up, would block 15 pts damage with the absolute worst two gold armor... I sincerely hope that when the thief changes come, they give backstab a big boost in damage.>>

- We've said before that the biggest thing to be negatively effected would be backstab, but because it doesn't really work as intended anyway I'm not sure it's so horrible. I think looking at the bigger picture, every attack you make that isn't backstabbing now will be actually worthwhile, where as in the past they mostly weren't, I'd argue that's more than a fair trade-off until we can fix up ol' backstab a little =)

Best!
