Backstab

[Auric]

Does this rule still apply?
Page 42, under the "Backstab" description, remove "they can hit in the
back while standing behind the person" from the first sentence. This
makes the description read, "This skill allows a character to do an
extra two points of damage to any foe. You must be behind the victim
and able to see the victim's shoulder blades to inflict a Backstab..."

I see it did not make in into the new 1.2 rulebook.

This skill allows a character to do an extra two points of damage to any foe they can hit in the back while standing behind the person. The “back” includes the buttocks, rear of the arm (triceps area from shoulder to elbow) and rear half of the calves and thighs from heel to but- tocks. You must be behind the victim and be able to see the victim’s shoulder blades to in- flict a Backstab; you cannot reach around from the front.

This is the wording of version 1.2. So yes, I believe it states the same intention as the previous versions addendum. If I have miss understood your question please repost and we will try to get it answered.
