Trying to build super-hero, but he dies too easy!

You need to tell us the chassis of your hero.

If lifeless, then regen will not work, I believe. On the other hand, the undead have melee encumberance capped at zero, so reinvig is not necessary except in certain situations.

He was a Marvari Canute Leader (not sure about the spelling, the druid dudes), the most expensive one you can buy (travels on foot.) I would like to point out that you can't carry a shield when using the multi-color sword because it's a two-handed weapon. Also, do magic items stack their abilities? Would two lucky items make someone luckier than one? Or two regenerating items?

Luck doesn't stack. You are either lucky or not.

Two different regen items should stack. (Or native regeneration, bless regen, or a spell)
Two of the same item do not stack. (Except, due to code weirdness, if they are not next to each other, which needs 3+ slots of the same type.)

He got fatigued and die. Now, take those same items and summon up a Golem and give to it. The golem wont get tired. Take away the regenerating ring and the helmet and give it Starshine helmet and amulet of reinvigoration. Take away the boots and give it boots of quickness. Script etherealness/luck/hold/hold attack. Casting those 2 spells will put you at about 50 fatigue but once you its fighting its fatigue will go down due to the amulet of reinvigoration.

Something to note. Almost all thugs and SCs are built out of summoned creatures, not recruitables. One notable exception is the EA frost giant's 500 gp neifehelm dude. I can't remember his name, but they are great thugs/SCs out of the box. They have good magic paths, defense, protection, and hitpoints. They're also sacred, and since this race tends to use a nice bless that's just more "free" gear they get that neither takes up a slot nor requires it to be built.
