You made a silly character and he died. You don't get to make another silly character and punish the whole group because you're being obstinate. The only caveat to that is if his Warlock idea is just so damn cool and well role played that him being sucky in combat doesn't matter. Does he play the character that well? Has he written pages of history for the character? Does he play like he has an 18 Charisma? We had a similiar situation back in 2nd edition.  We had a fighter with just terrible stats.  But the guy had a great idea for the character and didn't want to reroll or make a different class. In the end he wound up dying (due to his 8 con) and the party really felt the loss.  He never did all that much in combat but he role played his ass off and when the character was gone, the game just wasn't as much fun. If I had a say in the matter I would have cheated and brought him back.</blockquote>
