    Stand behind someone while Hidden in Shadows or Invisible.

    Then attack with a select group of weapons: short sword, long sword, katana, scimitar, dagger, etc.. Almost any non-blunt weapons, except for the two-handed and bastard swords, will work.

    I have been having problems with the fire giants by the Marching Mountains inside the building. I ahve already placed a forum for that but, can you backstab them?

    I doubt it, since you're only about up to their thigh. :D

    Seriously though, I don't think you can backstab a non-humanoid. Maybe this applies to Fire Giants.

    [​IMG] You can backstab non-humanoids, such as dogs and other things like that. But as with Black Rose, I'm not sure if you can backstab a giant, I *think* you can. If I remember correctly you can, but dont qoute me on that, I think I remember backstabbing the fire giant on level two of watchers keep, but again I cant say if I remember correctly.
    Hope that helps.
