The point is that using your proposed revision for Backstab, anyone who takes Rogue will STILL have to take it at character creation. Your revision misses the point. A Rogue trying to get the "free" backstab has to not only wait until level 6,
I see, backstab talent should be accessible for free from the level one. Right. Then >>>
1. Take backstab for 1 talent point
2. Get Scoundrel level 2 to get it as reward.
You want a stabby stab guy on the first level, here you go. Well, he need to sacrifice something else.
Backstabbing should not be reliant on an talent or ability level, it should be something anyone wielding a knife can do; it should simply be a property of the weapon. Dexterity requirements will keep fighters and mages from wielding them.
I want a magic dagger of storms. It gives +1 Int and spell Blitz. Staffs for every caster is dull.
