Hey There!
I'm looking to add Backstab Into my normal combat routine (as a strong training aid). I find if I spam backstab, My balance tanks.
Currently I use:
Parry
Feint
Draw
Thrust
Jab
Dodge
Lunge
Looped
I would love to however, fit in a backstab somewhere in there (hiding included ofcourse).
Thoughts?

a successful backstab will give a boost to your balance.
In the combat sequence a backstab is equivalent to a thrust. I personally jab after a backstab and than dodge.
I'd change your combo to...
Feint
Feint Lunge
Hide
Backstab
Jab
Dodge

<<Hmm, is that 2 feints on purpose?>>
Feint + (attack) is a method for doing certian moves in a sequence with out getting the penalty to defenses. But is also doesn't do as much damage as the attack would by itself.
Lunge has a huge defesne penalty and a feint lunge allows you to use a lunge in the combo with out ending up dead.

Terc has always done the routine.
Attack
attack
hide
stalk
backstab
attack
Unless I'm going for the one shot kill.. then it's just hide, stalk, backstab

i've noticed that it does increase my rate of one hit kills, but by no means was my study scientific...
the other thing to keep in mind, if there are three critters in a room, and you hide, you gain the exp based on hiding on three, whereas you can only advance to melee on one and learn stalking based on that one, so hiding will lock faster than stalking.
the lesson is, even it it doesn't give any attack award, still do it...

How sure are you of that? My feel is that you get more stalking from more creatures, too. Of course, I'm just as unscientific here, so I might just be wrong.

That's wrong. You learn hiding and stalking based off however many critters hide and stalk in front of.

Devan has the right of it here... Stealth checks go against everything in the room. You might be at melee with one troll, but all the other trolls do have a chance to spot you at thier respective range modifiers.
