Rikard is right...you DO have the blood of a God in your veins, as well as does Imoen. Those two can be expected to become more than mere human, by the standards of what a human is. Yet the others, I agree, should not be able to level up equal to God-hood, like your PC and Imoen. But as Melusine was saying: Who said that a computer game can or should follow the PnP rules?

Can you create a game that follows every original PnP rule?? Do you think it would become a hit such as BG and BGII have become? And since rules do change, ie. 2nd and now 3rd revision of the PnP rules, why is it so hard for you to accept needed changes? People grow out of the boundries set, and need to expand borders. One of the reasons that the BG seies is so popular is because it allows for that expansion...where the rules do hinder progression.
