swords dont backstab. You threw to initiate combat.

Just think of swords simply as being too long and unwieldy to use to stab, regardless of whether they are sharp, pointed, blunt, magical, or whatever.

Hehe, Raargant said blunt

Bobcat: the point was to show that I needed "a piercing weapon to backstab." The throw was irrelevant. I just wanted to initiate combat to show that I was wielding a "piercing" sword.

Raar: Yeah, you're right. I just thought it was an interesting point.

Daggers and spears are the common weapons used by thieves.

As opposed to spears, which are usually much longer and more unwieldy than swords. ^_~

Interesting POINT! HAH!
