Re: The problem of low hit points on humans
Well, Marius Lorca is a hero, but lets talk Emerald Lord (who is nearly as bad-***.)
The emerald lord costs *80 gold*.
That's roughly equivalent to a four or five gem summoned monster. The emerald lord, on average, smacks a wyvern like a red-headed stepchild. So, the emerald lord doesn't need more than 15 hit points - if he had 25, he'd beat the wyvern almost every time, which would be unfair.
Now, it's true, the niefel jarl is a *way* better chassis than he is - but, without items, six emerald lords chop him at the knees until he dies, and the niefel jarl costs six times as much.
But, if you're really set on letting people use human heroes into the late game, I think it would be reasonable for blood/fire/earth/nature (in various combinations) to add hit points - I notice no-one has requested a "bonus hit points" power for magic items in the modders wishlist.
