Doesn't this "All creatures gain maximized HP according to their racial HD (either as given in the relevant Monster Manual or character races' HD - according to the Races' spoiler) plus their CON-score." mean that they get max hp for every HD plus their con modifier?
EDIT: Just noticed it says con-score. But "the maximised HP" is still confusing.
My bad. For a moment there I thought you were going for RAW-HR mesh (don't ask my why).
EDIT: Just as PCs gain max HP for their racial HD, so do monsters. This is the only thing that would still legitimize the term HD and the entire HD mechanics (losing that would have too great an impact on the game to even consider as an option).
I wish I had.
Anyway the only thing that slightly alarms me is that, the reduced hp might cause a problem even with the typical 3.5 monsters. That said the classes are maybe more powerful and certainly more flexible so I'll see how that plays out and then comment with my mind blowing insight

1. All classes have built-in features that greatly aid their defensive capabilities.
2. The characters would have a lot of means, game-mechanics-wise, to utilize.
3. Go over the feats section once more.
4. There are quite a few official feats (Elusive Target being one of the more obvious) to aid increase survivability in combat.
Just another question. Do you think I should generally follow the wealth per level and treasure per encounter guidelines in the 3.5 core rulebook?
I am expecting the players to fight monsters of up to their CR+2 (very rarely 3) and that I will follow the book of gears suggestions (so no major magic items in shops etc.).

Accumulating magical gear was never a key objective of heroes or vilains in top grade folklore and it shouldn't be so in a top grade RPG (just imagine Aragorn walking about and with every other footstep something magical falls out of his pockets - ridiculous, aint it?).
Give the characters all the monetary wealth you feel like and make magical items' trade practically non existant. If they have to spend months or maybe even years on item creation (that could easily fail), they'll think really hard before making an attemt and maybe try to build a stronghold instead. You could also weave the storyline to make it next to impossible for them to spare the time for such long endeavors or acquire any necessary materials you might find appropriate.
