opcode 263 'backstab bonus' and the 3E sneak attack gameoption

[subtledoctor]

Anyone know whether an op263 bonus gives a bonus to sneak attack damage, if that game  option is turned on?

It does not. You need to edit sneakatt.2da for the damage or crippstr.2da (and possibly backstab.spl) for the stat reduction.

Thanks. So I guess that means there is no way to apply bonuses to Sneak Attack in-game? Only by level via the .2da table? That's sad.

(I have a feat to allow thieves to improve their backstab multiplier in lieu of weapon proficiencies - or vice-versa - and I guess there's no way to make it work if the player is using sneak attacks instead...  )
