There is a reason at 30 everyones Hit points are fairly tightly ranged.  At level 30 a fighter with 26 con can expect around 230 hp if he has toughnessIf you ignore your defenses as any class, you will be getting slammed by creatures quite often.Healing potions, well yeah, a Potion of recovery, the level 25 healing potion costs 25,000 gold and gives you back 50 hp and costs a surge, the real benefit from it is the saves it grants you vs ongoing effects.  But really chugging potions can help but is a costly solution.I think I will make this character for RPGA play, no party resources to worry about there really but even in a normal party if a warlock having 4 magic items for defense is going to cause problems for the rest of the party then the magic item distribution to the party is far lower than is expected by the game design.Lvl 30 +6 Battleforged ArmorLvl 29 +6 Cloak of the walking woundLvl 24 Ring of RegenerationLvl 10 Belt of BloodThat falls well within the guidelines for even creating a higher level character on the spot from the DMG, use the Item of Level+1 for your weapon/implement etc, and those rules are conservative compared to the expected distribution from real gameplay.</blockquote>
