Hmm, if you give too many HPs maybe you should make rules of your house to drop skills and/or relationships from time to time, and apply them harshly on "cementing" guys or maybe on overspecialized skills never used... The rich merchant loses part of his wealth because of a wandering eurmali joke (-3), the strong warrior loses his contact with the neighbour clan (-5), the Helamakt devotee loses part of his Storm affinity on the draught (-1)... wounds and age should be reflected somehow on the game too. And there should be a chance to "fall from greatness".
