Talk:Special Attack

To my knowledge, using brawl on any melee weapon is false, otherwise there wouldn't be a reason for keepers to choose a type 112 type sword (which has brawl) over a type 880 (which does not).

Sneak attack do not ignore armor afaik. Not sure what was meant with '*any*', but a weapon do need be brawl enabled (some do not have visible req for it). 'Backstab also locks the Sneak Attack skill a character cannot both do a back stab and then a sneak attack.' that is misinformation. //Basemetal

Since the official announcement about the addition of the backstab ability says that it -does- lock the sneak attack skill, i'm going to keep the guide as it is till you can demonstrate what patch this was changed in or I can get it confirmed some other way. I believe you are correct on the brawl ability though. I'm not sure about sneak attack, though my impression is that it does ignore armor. I'll get that double checked --Berael 18:39, 7 February 2008 (PST)
