Rogues having trouble sealing the deal

One of the things I have noticed with our high powered Rogues in games is that they have more trouble finishing off tough, smart opponents. The Valarians have a much bigger tool box to work from and better chances of resisting spells that are cast at them.

It appears to come down to what the opponents are thinking. If they are unwilling to stand and die stupidly they are more likely to escape from Rogues. However, at the same time the Rogues, with their high HP are more survivable themselves. They are more likely to drive off their enemies than Valarians, but less likely to kill the big enemies.

It is an interesting trade off. I think the most successful parties will be those of a mixed Valarian/Rogue group. It makes me more likely to limit the two to a single cross over level.
