Actually, there are several minor powers in PU1; Giant (+2D6x10 plus 1D4x10 every 2 or 3 levels and also adds PS), Hardened Skin (+2D4x10 plus 10 every level and also adds natural AR), Increased Durability (+3D6x10 SDC, +6D6 HP).

Though, I kind of find it funny that Hold Breath gives you a greater SDC bonus than Indestructible Bones or Immovability.

there's few things about PU1 that i don't like, but that's one of them.

No you're wrong, dislike growth, giant characters are stuck at their inhumane height, and the continue to grow with experience. Much like some comic character that are drawn bigger and bigger depending on drawers :P

however harden skin, or increased durability does fit with what i was aiming for


Yup - GET at least PU1 asap - it's a comparitively small book and pretty cheap.

Giant isn't a growing power per se - the character who has it is STUCK at his giant size and cannot change it. Every few levels of experience (2 or 3) he grows from 1 to 4 ft, further increasing his strength and SDC.
