Yes, and the cost for a +2 here is 3HP, _not_ 2HP.

Fairly clearly not the intent, by comparison with the rest of the table. Increasing a "normal" ability progresses as per the triangular numbers, so the obvious extrapolation is to use the same progression (tripled) here, if one wishes to read the table as "accidentally omitting" this possibility, rather than precluding it.
