How many clerical spell slots is an AD&D thief's backstab worth? That's a hard question to answer, and you have to go detailed, not abstract. (Tentative suggestion: backstab is worth about 1 round of fighter damage, so perhaps half a cure spell of the relevant level. 4 encounters per day makes backstab worth 2 spells of the highest level available to a character of that level. How did Monte Cook balance it for the Akashic in AU/E?)</blockquote>
