Maybe you misunderstood me: I am talking relative HP at any given level. Progression balance is another thing, but OP was having problems with the fact that a god in BG1 or 2 had 150 absolute HP and now a spider has 150 absolute HP. That in and off itself has no meaning whatsoever and its pointless to compare 2 editions in that way.

The relative power is important, not what number is representing it.
