Sure, but every time they get hit they risk permanent afflictions. If they are being hit hard enough to die then they will likely gain them quite quickly.
Ok, I thought the idea was to have a pretender (preferably with a ring of regeneration  ) that could survive going out with a bang - not a whimper, not one that would make a habit of it.
If you want a self-abusing habitually dying pretender, then the Ancient Kraken at 136 points (and an amulet of the fish) is your squid! 
(Ok, I just like using the Ancient Kraken as Atlantis or R'lyeh - a very powerful SC chassis despite having only 3 misc. slots, one of which is almost guaranteed to go to an amulet of the fish)
