Grantt,
There really are no "hit points" in this game. Your three primary bars - Health, Action and Mind (HAMs) - do not change throughout the course of your play. You can "migrate" your stats, meaning that you can change the totals. For example,
You decide to become a rifleman. Riflemen use a lot of mind. So you change your stats so that you have 750 points of Health, 750 points of Action and 1000 points of mind. You then decide to switch to Pistoleer, which uses a lot of Action. So you "migrate" your stats to 800 Health, 1000 Action and 700 mind. Migration can take as long as a day to become final. You cannot simply change the numbers and apply them.
Your ability to kill higher level creatures and survive increases because you will be able to perform special abilities that hit harder, or delay or distract the higher level creatures from killing you. For example, I used to get my ass handed to me as a Novice Scout/Pistoleer by Sharupaunts on Naboo. Now, as a Master Scout/Ranger and Sniper, I can one shot their butts.
It's very fulfilling.
