Standard special ability, totally pointless?

[Teraswaerto]

In a highly magical world like that of Dominions heroes would have some kind of magic power usually. Most will be mages, some will have unhuman blood in them, etc.

Human heroes should not have superhuman HP across the board, and not all heroes should be on the level of Etimmu, but there's no real reason that human nations must have strictly human heroes. Perhaps, for example, there could be an Ulmish hero with a titan for a grandaddy, gifted with superhuman size and strenght. All Ulmish heroes shouldn't be like that though.
