My problem is understanding what the hell Humakt is doing with any berserk magic at all... couldn't understand the profusion of berserkers in HW, still can't.

Erm... hang on, 1% must mean a minimum of 1 HP... you have 100+ HP from 7 sessions? More than 14 points a session? Extremely excessive!

I'd say the problem is he's failing to see the character in his environment, and instead is treating him as an isolated event. There are a whole load of possibilities to control, limit, or even cripple (literally or metaphorically) such a character, but they do NOT work if the Narrator tries pretending he's just like the other PCs. He needs special treatment, bigger combat challenges, or, more interestingly, some NON-combat challenges.
Nor, in his (your Narrator's) defence, do they work as well if you, as player, have designed, or now play, a character without a background. Think on these: has he ever had a pet? Has he any brothers or sisters? Are his parents alive (and if not, has he had anything to do with that?)? Has he any fears or passions? Or is he just a combat monster? HW does not suit combat monsters, as there's no inherent balance in the character design. If he is one, dump him, or have him killed off in a blaze of glory. Bring back his more interesting younger brother...
