Format: knife victim

A typical thief's move is to stab with a knife or dagger. You can only attack someone who is not currently fighting. The injuries from a stab are generally stronger than from a regular hit.

Whether the strike lands depends on your skill and level against the victim's level, your dexterity against theirs and other factors. An awake victim under backguard is much harder to hit.
