(BTW, BRP doesn't have 'Hero Points'. What it calls 'Fate Points' are in fact just power points spent on various meta-game effects - like spells everyone would have. I however would rather restrict their use, as I said before, to characters with skills at a more heroic level, like 100%+.)

Hey,
No, I've caught that distinction, though I'll probably use Hero Points from MRQ. Depending on the various ways in which Fate Points can be used, I will probably mix and match a bit. The ability to ablate damage will probably be there for everyone, just due to the lethality of the system. The other effects will have to wait to be categorized once I've read them. I'll probably also mix in super powers (minor) for such things.
That's a good point about the 'Power Quest'. I'm not sure what I'll call it in my setting, or how it will work out. It might simply be something that anyone who has truly mastered an endeavor can achieve... or I might make it require magic or myth to unlock. Not quite certain. Since my setting has been in a number of different systems at one point or antoher, including 3rd Ed wherein Feats just came to you over time, I think it depends on how awesome/overwhelming the Fate Point powers are.
