...And by doing so you'd get better at combat. Although this is a problem with D&D and all RPGs in general. Also higher levels adds a lot more things than more HP. All I'm saying is that 10-20 HP isn't THAT much. All it really means is is that you're decent at your job so you can actually reasonably be an adventurer rather than someone who should rather not follow that line of work.
