I want to point out that we were actually beating Ran'jit before he figured out how our power flow worked and immobilized us (or at least I was, I got him down to half health before he pulled the move off and I was still topped off in health on my SAM). He showed off his special move, which proceeded to never work again against us when he used it later because our characters had figured it out in return. So the next time we actually seriously fought we straight up beat him, despite him fighting in his powered up form. Were it not for that one move he pulled we would have killed him back at Laxan Loft.

The problem though is that Ran'jit was not our villain narratively. He was the equivalent of a mid-boss for the mid-boss. He was Thancred's major villain and foil, so Thancred should have been the one to give him the final blow.
