General Rules: Feats - Backstabber

Backstabber [General] (from the Unholy Warrior's Handbook)
You may perform a devastating attack on those who are unaware of your position.
   Prerequisites: Skill Augmentation: Listen and Spot, Hide 6+ ranks, Sneak Attack +2d6.
   Benefit: Once per round, while invisible or hidden (beating an opponent's Spot check by 10 or more), you may make a single attack against an opponent who is unaware of you. If you hit your target, you receive an automatic critical threat with your weapon. You then resolve the threat. If a critical hit results, you gain an additional +1d6 to your sneak attack damage in addition the benefits of the critical hit.
   Special: Spells or effects, such as see invisibility and true seeing, that reveal your position prevent you from using this ability.
