If I don't have some IC direction, by ANY character, by my "morning" coffee tomorrow (round abouts 7am EST) Shiyana's doing whatever the hell she likes.
Just sayin'.
Happy Friday, all.

I'm good for some skull cracking. I'd lean towards letting Turathian get a sneak attack in first though before Cam comes barreling through the door.
Backstab - PH p.27 says "striking of a blow from behind, be it with club, dagger, or sword." Al examples given are melee weapons. DM Guide offers no additional help. It'd just be too cool to allow a backstab perpetrated via arrow, and the rate of fire of a bow in AD&D and the close proximity of the two ogres means that Turthain could conceivably backstab BOTH Ogres in one surprise attack sequence using his bow. Actually, now that I think about it more, I'm not so sure its permissible to allow one bow shot each against two different opponents, nor do I think a backstab was meant to be done with a missile weapon.
But He**! That'd just be too cool! Rhun, if you want to try a backstab against each Ogre with a bow shot at +4 for 2-12 hp damage then by all means, go for it! I'll even allow two backstab shots at one of the Ogres, 2 attacks at +4 for a total of 4-24 hp dam. [This will likely never happen again in this game. Or, it might. I'll have to mull it over and cogitate.]
In a real head-smack moment I noticed that I forgot to calculate Cam's damage bonus vs humanoids and giants. He should have done one more point of damage (for a total of D8+3) on both attacks there killing the ogre with the second blow.
