One thing popped to mind.

If it's 'unrealistic' or whatever that human heroes have more hp.

How is it not unrealistic if they get it from a heroic ability?

Why can't our HEROES have more than average hp, if our HEROES can?
Yah, this is the point I get stuck on too.

An Emerald Lord or something who gets unequaled obesity or the other HP boosting heroic ability and hangs around in the hall of fame for a while can gain a decent cushion of HP and will indeed survive hits that would kill a normal man.

If he can do it, why can't some of the national heroes do it? Why is it that the only way to get that HP up is via a random ability?
Other, non-random, ways are Prophetizing and Wish.
Heroic abilities are a bit exaggerated, especially when some of them get to high levels. People with high heroic abilities are more like the characters some people are wanting to see. I prefer to get legendary Defense skill to legendary ability to not die when butchered (i.e. Hit Points), personally. I agree that it's too bad it requires the attention of the gods who oversee the Hall of Fame to get them, and that they are a bit much in some cases. I'd like to see more minor abilities, and a different way to earn them besides the HoF.
