how common is rifting?

Or have a consortium of bad guys, so if one gets killed here or there, who cares? That's what captains and lieutenants are for. Not revealing the big bad except in rumor and innuendo until the end is a very effective plot device.

Alternately, if your mod boss isn't powerful enough to (or just can't) rift, he could have a friend who can. The friend can pop in at the last second and snatch the boss before the PCs finish him off. Bad guy teamwork is fun.

Even better, let the friend be some poor villager who has this power of rifting but no understanding of how or why. The bad guy keeps her (or him, i'm not sexist) on a magical chain that he uses to control the rifting.

Just a thought.
