I don't know if I would bother special casing it (I would imagine the same
thing could happen with sp - a beginner character with a low int/pow could
certainly only have a couple sp.)
I would agree that hp being shown in red is more useful - after all, running
out of hitpoints will cause you to die. Running out of grace/sp, while could
cause problems which may eventually lead to death, do not directly cause death.
