I read your post and was thinking good for you, then I saw what you intended to play. First thing to consider when playing a giant is the 500 exp penalty, its not so much of an issue at level 51 (although it will determine your pk range to the extent of non heros you can fight at 51). It does make the slog up a little tougher as Fire giant AP, you have three cabals gunning for you straight off, +- 2 more. Those that can harm you will regularly have nine titles on you etc. Which is fine if you dont intend on relying on your spells to much to deal with those sorts of threats. I'm far more likely to practice stuff like invis and detect inv just once. two pracs into stuff I need, and if I really need it 3 pracs to reach the 75%. mostly i think for parry, although with a little investment sub pk its an option to work on all your weapons and at least get them to 75% from 69%. Early on Protection + Giant resist is some very nice dam redux for leveling etc. Theres a massive void between giant learning and elf learning, so you want to utilized your skill learn, and also pray for learn from mistakes. A wise man once told me that with giants you should master dodge, and be drunk or something. You have no dodge, so i guess you are mastering sleep. Also remember giants live quite a long time, and also you will improve faster the older the character is, so theres nothing wrong with spending a bunch of hours at low levels getting some decent skills/spells and allowing the character to mature. (Thats only relevant if you like to play 300-400hour chars)
