I'm pretty sure that most GM's white hot glare would prevent that.
But the SM-2 PC gets a big boost, possibly literally, by human characters, while the poor SM+1 Ogre stays stuck in the pit, because no one can pull him out.
(Holy run on sentences, Batman!)

I do dislike how severely Gurps penalizes my bookish ogre/giant concept.
