6.2 Backstab

 If the target is unaware of the specific whereabouts of an attacker in a combat, the target must make a Difficult Listen, Sense, or Spot roll. If the target remains unaware (fails the roll), an attacker behind or to the side of them can try to backstab the opponent: an Easy attack. Dodging or parrying this attack is considered Difficult.
