    You might be thinking of 3e/3.5e, where all undead are immune to sneak attacks. BG is AD&D 2e.

    As far as I know zombies in AD&D are only immune to sleep, charm, hold, death magic, poisons, and cold-based spells.

    I think zombies can be backstabbed. They just can't be sneak attacked (with is a D&D 3x concept).

    A backstab on zombies can simply means chopping their head off from behind, their neck is probably soft as a ham.

    Thank the gods it works the way it does in BG, where virtually everything can be backstabbed. This nonsense about things being immune to sneak attacks or critical hits is silly. Even without internal organs, virtually everything has weak spots. Zombies have weak or especially rotten bits, skeletons have cracks in the rib cage, etc.

    Yeah, the blanket immunities in BG2 are a sore spot for me. We're going to give you these awesome abilities, but you can't use them when it really matters. If your kit is based around it, tough...
