Although that wasn't what I was talking about, it is in the rules that Assassins can't kill them.


Also, as long as it is possible for a character to lose hearts which causes death, it can be useful to have extra hearts.
Therefore having politicians and merchants gain in levels can be worthwhile.

I understand if you want to make them less hardy, though. In that case,
just make it harder for them to gain levels,
but them gaining levels at all would only add to the game.
