That's not to say it's a bad method of stat generation, it's a legacy method and one I still let my players use if they want, but it needs to be recognized that the game is more or less balanced these days based around the standard array or point-buy system. So anything that deviates greatly from those has potential to cause trouble. I could be completely wrong of course, and I'll freely concede the point if that's the case, but it's just my quick observation.Additionally, if this particular character is able to absorb so much physical punishment, perhaps you need to look at creating encounters that bypass that to some degree. Enemies with spells that target his lower defenses, battlefields or traps that likewise lock him down a bit, etc. You don't want to necessarily tailor encounters entirely around combating one character, but perhaps spend a bit more time thinking about things you could add that would challenge him and yet still fit organically into the story/ecounter you're trying to create. Not everything needs to be a battle of fisticuffs where you're pulling out tougher and tougher monsters that are par with him but annihilate the other party members, there are other angles to come at this from.Finally, with regards to him slaying the entire party because he attuned to a berserkers weapon, this sort of thing can cause problems in and out of game if it becomes commonplace and both the player and his character don't care. From an out of game perspective I know most of my players would start getting annoyed if one guy at the table kept killing their characters off and didn't give a damn. From an in game perspective, I'm not sure who exactly would want to join up with a mad man who's known to have killed his own traveling companions on possibly more than one occasion.</blockquote>
