Lyneya teased some of this a bit on Discord, but the BACKSTAB ability has undergone an overhaul.

Key points:
- No longer requires a piercing weapon. On a miss, slicing weapons will replace the attack with SLICE, and blunt weapons will replace the attack with SWING. These are also the maneuvers it messages as.
- Can target all creatures, not just bipeds.
- Ability is renamed to BLINDSIDE, with corresponding BLINDSIDE verb. BACKSTAB remains a viable alias. Please let me know if guildleaders/NPCs say backstab instead of bindside.

These changes are currently in TEST. Please let me know if you see any problems, or NPCs who talk abuot backstab still.
