The backstab command is usable only by thieves and assassins, and allows them to
do 2-3 times more damage than normal with sharp or thrusting weapons. The thie
 or assassin must be hidden in order for a backstab to work, and if he or she
fails, then they are considered vulnerable and will have to wait 3 times the
normal amount of time before attacking again. Backstab can only be used to
initiate combat, not once the monster is already attacking you.

Syntax:
  backstab <monster/player> [#]
  bs <monster/player> [#]

Example:

: hide
You attempt to hide in the shadows.
