I was just reading in the Ranger folders and Teeklin posted something about a brawling strike while holding an arrow, which got me thinking...
I'm assuming it'd be overpowered, but if there were enough penalties involved, and it was possible to code it, how feasible would it be to allow Thieves to backstab while holding ranged ammo? Though I shudder at the thought of Thieves walking around with h/f/m backstabbers, it did get me thinking.

I think the requirement of using an arrow for backstabbing would be to ether have it damaged each time until it breaks. Or have the arrow break on the first backstab.

Backstab is supposed to be a precise attack with a suitable weapon, which is one of the major reasons I always tell people 'No' for HE backstab.
An arrow does not really fit my personal sensibility of being suitable for such a thing.

A broken arrow shaft would make a nice backstab weapon, I don't see a full arrow being very good...But with like 6 inches of shaft with the arrowhead still on it would work great. But this more sounds like one of those odd and end weapons like you have seen in the leth fest.
