What class/weapon combination would lead to the best backstabs on average at the XP cap, given an average enemy with -3 AC.
The thing to optimize would be average total damage done with a single backstab attack (including poisons)
I would think the Staff of Striking could be an obvious choice. but also the poisoned Dagger could be worthwile with single-weapon style.
Possibilities:
Human Berserker/Thief dual ?
Half-orc Assassin ?
Kensai/thief dual ?
Half-orc or Elven Fighter/Thief multi ?
cleric Selfbuffed/Thief?
anything else i forgot?
