The Rogue player is a seasoned rogue. She plays only rogues ever since she started playing. She can build some mean rogues and with the right magic items, she is doing a lot of damage. The Warpriest is the newest to RPGs and we are doing our best to help him get more bang for his buck. I think he is doing an amazing job so far but is feeling bad since he can't do as much damage as the rogue.

In regards to the sneak attack going off, I make sure everything is there before she rolls her dice. In this particular instance, she attacked first out of stealth, then got a flank with the companions help and the Warpriest. She also has Greater Feint when she can't get the flank.

I guess what I'm trying to find out is how to get everything balanced for everyone to shine. I need suggestions. What encounters would would best for everyone?

Could you post their sheets and any house-rules you use? Along with general enemy types as in is your campaign an "Against the Giants/Dragons/Demons" campaign, or is it a more varied set of enemies?

This would help at least myself with generating advice.

I'll see what I can do about sheets. As for house rules, I don't have much. I did give them companions and the arcanist did something fancy with magical item crafting. Basically it's a multiclass character who can make magic items cheaper.

I'm also curious what this boss was, and if they had minions, and what the party's level was.

This game is based on the four horsemen of the apocalypses. They fought a Purrodaemon backed with a combination of Bearded Devils and Horned Demons. Basically they were ambushed by and army of Bearded devils and after that, they faced the Purrodaemon with Horned Demons. They were all level 11 with the help of companions, all level 10, which were a Ranger, another Rogue, and Summoner.

The high level caster feels outclassed? ...by a rogue?

He doesn't feel like he is doing enough damage. The rogue just outputs too much.

Howdy. I'm currently GMing a mid-high level (11-15) campaign right now. This is my first ever campaign at these levels (I've GMed a few low to mid low games) and I hit a rock patch that I can't seem to work around and I'm turning to the pathfinder community for advice. So here is the story:

I have a game with my roommates that consist of three players, a Warpriest (ACG), Arcanist (ACG as well), and a vanilla Rogue. The other night they just killed a boss fight and after the Arcanist player voiced his opinion about it after the fact that he felt his character didn't shine in the fight. What this means is that the boss had high SR and stats were he was resisting a lot of the spellcaster's power. Our rogue however was the main damage dealer and torn into the boss with her sneak attacks and the like. The Arcanist player told me that he and the Warpriest felt that the rogue has become overpowered (which was interesting because the Arcanist was originally the overpowered one earlier in the campaign when the characters where mid-low levels) and this has made the game for the others not fun anymore because the cannot do as much damage as the rogue.

I expected this because I know our party's abilities (not their actual ability power but what the players themselves are capable of) pretty well. The Rogue specifically made herself the assassin, high damage output but weak in other areas. I geared the encounter best to all their abilities as I could. The Arcanist and Warpriest did really well before the boss fight with his henchmen and I thought they were out shinning the Rogue. The Rogue just happened to work best against the boss because she could focus her hits with flanks and sneak attacks. This made the others feel less glamours in the main battle.

So I guess my question to everyone is this: How do I resolve this issue? It seems that no matter what I do, someone feels under accomplished in my campaign. I've tried going over rules and strategies to even it out but nothing is working. Help me out people of the gaming community!
