Sneak Attack

Sneak Attacks are those skills which allow for the additional damage and special attacks used in weapon-oriented combat, when the attacker has the advantage of being physically behind the target.

To define being behind a target, if the aerial view of the attacker was the same as a clock, with 12 O’clock being forward the attacker must be between 4:30 O’clock and 7:30 O’clock, and the weapon must also strike the target within that area. This is the rear 90 degrees, or rear quarter, centered directly behind the target. This determination will rely on the good sportsmanship of both the target and attacker. Eviscerate is an exception to this requirement.

These skills are always coupled with a Weapon skill.
