    [​IMG] Kay, I've started a pure fighter, wich I dualed to thief when reached LvL 9. Now, I was wondering ; Can't u backstabb with Longswords!!!??? I have found no table for this, and I must say that I'm pretty dissapointed when I saw that u could only backstab humanoids. What counts as humanoids? Is it ; elves, drow, human, dwarves, gnomes, halfers, and half-orcs?

    Please, if anyone knows the address to some kind of table for weapons usable by backstabbers, post the link here.

    I don't know if such table exists, however I always used Short Sword of Backstabbing that you get from Renal Bloodscalp for exposing Mae'Var.

    You can backstab with any weapon a thief can use, this includes longswords.

    [​IMG] You can´t only backstabb humanoids - I sucessfully backstabbed almost everything in the game, *EXCEPT* vampiric mists, beholderlike creatures, kua-toas, dragons and demon knights.

    And backstabbing with a longsword should work. About how to backstabb under #7 here: http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/BG2/thieves.php

    Be of good cheer and try on :) !

    PS: Maybe you also have a boot of speed problem, more here: http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/Forum2/HTML/002885.html

    EDIT: made it clearer now ;)

    Backstab beholders? you sure? I tried this several times and got the "the backstab seems to have failed" message all the time. Also got this with golems.
