The real kicker is that the bargainer TECHNICALLY wouldn't even take the
massive wound as the the covenant only takes the massive wound if he goes
up by 3+ sizes (the bargainer would go from size 5 to size 7). 
That was the reason I figured my rule would be fairer (word?), as it
didn't make the bargainer/goliath more powerful then he had to be.

But Steve is right, if we are going by straight rules, then the convenant
is the only precedent available.
