The "powered up" Vampires in boss hive instantly kill a level 1 rogue, with his measly 5 hit points (since 90% of 5 hit points gets rounded up to... 5 hit points).

Are there plans to adjust this? It wouldn't render the game unduly easy if boss vampires stole, say, 85% of health, but it would make Rogues less absolutely luck-dependent in the Hive.

85% would still 1-hit a rogue until he managed to get 7 HP. You'd need to take it down to 80% to ensure a level 1 rogue with 5 HP could survive. Of course, you could always just round down instead of up

A vampire's steal shouldn't be able to kill players... Except for one extremely memorable time at the GDC stand when someone managed to get killed by a vampire stealing health while heavily corroded and the extra damage nuked him

This is a bug. We've got it on the list of stuff to fix.
