After watching my players today, I think every adventuring party needs a Stretchy Leash of Barbarian Restraint.
No, they don't! The barbarian can just hack through that leash with one mighty blow!
And then where will the party be? Your cleric and rogue are trying to hold back your very pissed-off barbarian friend, who just finished tearing out the bard's throat with his teeth!

This came up in this morning's game. After checking strength scores and weight limits, they ultimately realized the rest of the party (cleric, sorcerer, arcane trickster) were physically incapable of restraining the melee character if he tried to charge.
I did want to see them try... With air walk active, it would have been like watching a kite trailing a string of ribbons.

"Try it."
Hammer and pitons. Also usually rope.

Tons of food to bribe the GM
Sushi is good for that.
I accept bribes of sushi.
The barbarian is usually fine. It's the sorcerers that need leashes. They run off without armor and with d6 HD.

Eh, sorcerers tend to be small and frail enough that we can fit them into those harnesses that strap them to someone's back.

It's perhaps not as famed for it as rogue because there weren't funky bloodlines in 3.5, but I've read at least one berserk hostage incinerating sorcerer horror story.
I suspect bloodragers are going to be a problem too. The iconic's story is the story of someone that no sane person should be willing to spend time around and there's no Fahfrd/Conan/Beowulf stuff to pull them to character (as opposed to mechanical) archetypes that aren't complete nutters. Still, if a problem player rolls up a bloodrager he's probably going to just kill his character, not ruin the game for everyone.
Bloody special snowflake fluff
** spoiler omitted **
If you want an archetype for the Bloodrager look no further than the Brutal Legend video game (really the heavy metal music Brutal Legend is based on but y'know).

What about Cuchulain? His warp spasm sounds much like an Abberant bloodrager.
Not sure what you're talking about, though the name doesn't inspire confidence in the sanity of the protagonist.
Protagonist is a rodaie for a sell out rock band who pines for the days of motorhead and judas priest.
Then a demon slaughters not-jonas brothers and transport him to a realm ruled by metal themes.
And it's an action rts. Which kind of sucks.
But it is amazing.
The protagonist is actually fairly level headed though certainly not the sharpest sword in the armory.
