Assassination

Assassination is a High-level class ability available to thieves only, excluding the Swashbucklers, who get Whirlwind Attack instead. This ability may be selected only one time.
Note: Some enemies are immune to backstab.

* Increasing APR as much as possible is vital for using this ability to its fullest. Examples of this are the Improved Haste spell and wielding Belm and/or Kundane. (The Scarlet Ninjatō is not valid for this, since it is not compatible with backstab.)
* One of the best times to activate Assassination is after a time trap triggers. Any attacks on time-stopped enemies bypass THAC0 outright and automatically hit, with every one of those attacks being backstabs due to Assassination.
* All attacks against stunned or held enemies also automatically hit, so that's also a good situation for using Assassination.
