PRONE STRIKE

PRONE STRIKE
Syntax: backstab <target>

  Assassin rogues refine the common backstab into a more precise art.
When striking from the shadows, the assassin delivers a calculated
thrust aimed at the target's most vulnerable points.  If the assassin
has studied the target sufficiently in prior combat, this technique
becomes a dual-weapon strike, driving both blades home at once for
devastating effect, though such a strike expends a measure of the
assassin's hard-won knowledge.

  Prone strike may also be used mid-combat as a circling attack,
though without the element of surprise it is less effective.  The
target must still be in reasonably good health for the technique to
find purchase.
