Some times, no matter what you do, your most fragile character ends up in combat. Like a certain fight involving a certain statue down under the dark earth. With level draining melee combatants. That has always been a hellish fight, especially for a low level party.
Options.
Combat buffs. As many as possible. Negative Plane Protection. Highly valuable. Does not last long, but, grants you much needed time to get the upper hand, control the situation, and, then slowly retreat the weaker not so protected party members. If you can establish a front line in the time you are given, the battle is yours.
Oil of Speed. Your Thief should be worried about one skin and that would be his. (or hers) When all else fails, run away. Pop an oil of speed and gogogogogogogogogogo! Run around as bait and make the most of it.
Protection from Undead Scrolls. Cheesy? No. They are there for a reason and a rather common item. Use them.
