I feels like this approach is better than the plain backstab = 100% crit, as rogues naturally gets crit chance from wits and other sources, and the crit chance would be useless if backstab functions in such a way.

I cannot confirm this at the moment, but others may feel free to try it when they have free time.


I just tested as a sanity check, and I can confirm this is 100% false. You cannot also crit on a Backstab.

I agree that the system you describe would be better. I'd love it if they changed it to something like that.

Edit: The following link details my comprehensive tests showing that Backstab and Crit do not stack: http://larian.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=593437#Post593437
