    In BG1EE? What weapon profs do you have for her? Varscona is good, but you might have someone else who wants to use it. The Shadow's Blade (short sword +3) is pretty great, and the Whistling Blade (+2) before that.

    Oh, and Icingdeath is great too :)

    Drizzt's Scimitar is probably the best choice. Whatever has the highest damage (without procs), so it gets multiplied the best by the backstab modifier. Contrary to what may feel intuitive, daggers are usually pretty bad weapons for backstabbing because of their low base damage.

    While the damage from daggers isn't great, a hit from the Dagger of Venom is gonna screw up spellcasters. Otherwise just go with your highest damage weapon, simple.

    thanks for the help, sorry for the redundancy

    Drizzt's scimitar, Dagger of Venom, or Short Sword of Backstabbing... though honestly I don't consider backstabbing a big deal in BG1.

    I would love a tweak that added backstab multipliers to daggers.
