Shortsword of Backstabbing

In the hands of any character this is a magical weapon +2, but in the hands of a thief it is especially potent. When a thief makes a backstab attempt with this short sword, it allows the thief to attack as if four levels higher than the actual experience level of the character, with corresponding improvements in THAC0, attack rolls, and damage multiplier on a successful hit.
