I prefer the Short Sword of Backstabbing, which aVENGER's Rogue Rebalancing mod makes more like its PnP counterpart: It adds +1 to your Backstab multiplier, and becomes a +5 weapon (I believe it still strikes as +3, though) when used by a Thief.

I am not a fan of the Gloves of Backstabbing, however. Swashbucklers should not be allowed to erase their Backstab limitation through cheesy items--nor should Assassins be able to pull off Elftuple (whatever x11 is) Backstabs whenever they want.
