Backstab allows a rogue to deliver a devastating strike against an unsuspecting
opponent. By exploiting their agility and keen perception, the rogue targets a
vital spot, dealing significant damage in a single, precise attack.

To perform a backstab, you must be wielding a weapon and be standing. If your
target is aware of your presence or, especially, watching you it is much harder
to land a successful backstab. When landing a successful backstab, you add
"precision damage" to your weapon's damage.

Backstab generates Edge in relation to the damage dealt.

>=160 = 4 Edge
>=120 = 3 Edge
>=80  = 2 Edge
>=1   = 1 Edge
