  There is a Mod that has a component that gives everybody the ability to do a x2 backstab.
  Maybe this will help you:

  Everyone can backstab at x2, thieves/assassins/stalkers do better. Only weapons a single-class thief can use are eligible for backstab, as usual.

  Hmm...a back-stabbing monk. Nice idea.
  I would give him a 3x backstab, but I would limit it a bit so it does not become overpowered:
  - can backstab only in a bar (though, the multiplier goes up to 4x if the char is drunk)
  - must shout something to make it work. acceptable are "IMMA TEAR YOU A NEW ONE !" or "IM 'ONNA BITCHSLAP YOU TO NEXT PLANE OF EXISTENCE !"
  - can't really back-stab with a fist, can you? Let's call the skill "fisting".

  Half a year from now.
  
  "Let's be honest here, as powerful as the Kensai/Mage is, he really can't compete with a monk that has 23 strength and uses fisting."
  
  "But a K/M with 10 APR using Kai dual wielding the Lightning Striker +17 and Chromatic Dagger +23..."
  
  "Please get real, kid. The moment that monk kites the enemy and hits the bar, this is over. Letting him actually get a drink before he starts fisting is just overkill."
