Well, here's my two cents (if anyone cares to listen...):
I figure, many of the othe Bhaalspawn have unique powers, so why not the PC? Logically speaking, why would so many of Bhaal's children have above normal abilities while the PC is just some Joe off the street? I guess you just have to say that the PC's inherited "power" is his/her tremendous willpower and perserverance in the face of superior foes...
On the topic of stats, I seem to recall that 11-13 is about average, so having a character with nothing below 15 is certainly "above average". The one cheat that I think I would accept is giving a single, decent weapon to the PC. After all, there are a number of NPCs with unique weapons that only THEY can use. Why let the NPCs be the only ones with cool equipment? Give yourself a nice (BALANCED) sword, but normal armour, etc. It won't give you too much of an edge, but lets you create a cooler background ("I smite thee with the enchanted sword of my father!!")
