Reward a sneak attack from behind, and limit it on bosses

Stabbing an unaware guard in the back should be a huge hit, but how do you decide what counts as behind? Angles go wrong when the attacker stands on the same spot, and a bonus that works on a boss ends the fight in one blow. This entry gives a sturdy test and the limits.

Why this works

Being unaware and being turned away are different facts, so they deserve different rewards. A direction test works from where things point, not from angles, so it has no seam at the turn-around. A cap on bosses keeps a surprise an opener, not a win.

When not to use it

Skip it when enemies see all around or when stealth is not part of your game. A hidden bonus then rewards luck, so teach stealth openly first, or make the bonus a skill the player chooses to build.
