I think you mean a -20 penalty to the PC. Sounds fair enough to me. Means
that they have to bid high to scratch the giant and are quite likely to come
a cropper if they fail. This fits in with what I think happens when you
scrap with giants, you either succeed unhurt or spend a lot of time in
traction!
I'd let "big" or "tall" characters roll to reduce the penalty.
Works out nicely I think
