Our group has a particular problem with a certain player. As good a friend as he is, he min/max's all of his characters to hell. He makes his characters so strong and perfect to the point that the DM, completely fair and just, has to ramp the difficulty to the point of nigh impossible for the rest of us, but leaves barely a scratch on him. He absolutely refuses to have flaws in both character abilities and in his bio/personality.
As an example, our group rolls out 3 sets of abilites, and you choose which one you prefer. All of us, rolled pretty great, but chose the ones most suited to our characters. He, on the other hand, rolled a good set, a great set, and a near perfect 18,18,18,17,18,18. Despite being a solider class (we were playing a revamped Star Wars d20 we created), he chose the latter. He absolutely refuses to take any scores less than 16, even if it makes no sense. Please tell me I'm not the only one that thinks this is ridiculous.
