Hmmm, I still can't backstab with Valygar. I can backstab no problem with my thief, so it isn't my technique. I've even tried stripping him down and equiping him with a short sword of backstabbing. Still no luck.

Are there any tricks to getting Valygar to backstab?

This is being discussed in the SOA forum. By you.

Yeah, but it until about an hour ago it was being left behind and no one was responding. I couldn't think of another way of bringing it up again. And besides, not everyone visits both forums.

Sorry for the duplicate.
