Backstab

Description
You're an accomplished ambusher and know how to take an enemy down quickly while unnoticed. Whether you're hiding in the shadows, skulking in a side-alley or blending in with a crowd, you can attack and then slip away before you're caught.

Effects
Backstabbing does not actually have to be a stab - it could be a slash or raking attack as well, but it must always use a knife and target the torso. When you use Backstab, you spend 2 Stamina and 2 AP. Make a normal Knife attack. If you use Backstab while Sneaking, the attack deals double damage and automatically inflicts a critical wound, or two critical wounds if you roll a Critical Attack. Additionally, using Backstab does not force the character to stop Sneaking.

Backstab can also be used during open combat against opponents that your character is Flanking. If used against a Flanked opponent, Backstab instead deals additional damage equal to your AGI score and does not automatically inflict a Critical Wound.
