    1. How do i backstab again? i don't see a "thieving skill" button for that

    2. Anyway to punch someone using a command that bypasses your normal weapons? (ie. is there a command that orders characters to punch while they have weapons in the wpn slots?)

    Two questions... two answers:

    1. - Select your melee weapon
    - Hide in Shadows (Hide in Shadow button)
    - Move very close to the enemy.
    - Attack the enemy while you are still hided in shadows.

    You will step out of the shadows and when your first attack is a hit, you backstabbed him succesfull and you will do more damage (depends on the Backstab-multiplier)

    2. In the bar where are the attack buttons, left of the weapons that are in your weapon slots, there's an icon of a Fist. Click on it and select your target, you will attack it with your fist.

    [​IMG] ah cheers. Okay, so i'm assuming backstab rules are in effect and only short swords can be used?

    As for brawling, i discovered i needed an empty weapons slot in order to see the fist.

    To succesfully backstab you have to be behind the target. Any weapon useable by a thief can be used.
