If you win the test, you can use your major action this round to Backstab him. You cannot Backstab an enemy that you begin your turn adjacent to but see the Bluff power at level 4. We are struggling to figure out whether this means that the move action is only required for melee weapons and ranged surprise attacks are possible or backstab is only possible with a melee weapon, the 2 books appear to imply different answers and we can't figure out which is which.

From what I remember, Backstab was going to stay melee-only for the core book, but be possibly switched to ranged, as well when generic AGE is released. This is correct. Changes worked better with the slightly different stat breakdowns for Fantasy Age. The rules for Fantasy AGE may vary. Warning with my answer below, it uses cross translation using official french rules as edited by Black Book Editions.

But it may give some perspective upon the english Core Rulebook ambiguity on Backstab ability, and was too elaborate to post as a comment only. The french reprint of the rulebook states the following definition for Backstab :.

The phrasing is somehow different from english rulebook, clears out all ambiguity. Translated back to english it means :. Only main-hand runes activateon an-off-hand attack. One of the things that bugs me with the current Tactics options, and the default AI combat code, is that there does not appear to be a way for NPCs to automatically seek out a position that will grant backstabs.

I feel this should be a no brainer, especially since it seems that every class and weapon type does more damage from a flanking attack. Does anyone know of any mods that either alter the AI to seek out a flanking position automatically, or mods that provide this as a Tactics option?
