The extra 2 hit points the slayer mage gains is given due to the rigorous
combat training used against dragon kind. Dragon Slayer's start with 7d4

The
dragon slayer is a human warrior specially trained to battle dragons. Some dragon
slayers consider themselves to be on a holy mission of some sort or another,
while others are simply part of an order of knights dedicated to protecting
humanity from one or more type dragons. A dragon slayer is easy to recognize.
Warriors and priests wear specially crafted armor used to protect themselves
from the dragons weapons (claws, teeth and breath). The armor is often fashioned
after the great wyrms they battle. Dragon shaped helms, scalemail and other
armors inlaid with scales and protruding spikes. The general cast of Dragon
Slayers are human knights dawning bardiches, two-handed swords, awls, pikes,
tridents and other two-handed weapons. While mages often use dragon fang daggers
or bone staves as their main weapons of choice.
