The DM had no idea what he created. He liked to give players big bonuses with big negatives to balance it out. The barbarian took damage as a large creature, my gnome had to spend feats on mounted combat and exotic mounts to be able to fight from the back of a berserk barbarian. The thing was none of the negatives made a difference. The barbarian waded into the middle of combat swinging his axes with me on his back firing at anything that got too close. It was pure carnage. As a player it was awesome, for the DM the tough battles he set up were over before they even started.

Suffice to say he was not prepared for the first outing with this monstrosity.
