You should put a spoiler notice at the title of this threadUmmm lets see, I had a similar experience with my scout/sentinel but didn't die at all, I had no powers to kill the trapped jedi so had to face malak each time. The only thing I can suggest is what I did, fight him till he has to run off and sap the life from some poor sod then heal yourself up asap, but save your force points and use the probably hundreds of medpacs you'll have. Do this each time. You can also stand back from him and lob grenades, the TDs and Plasma grenades work well as do adhesive, if you save this tactic till after malak has used up all his captives you shouldn't have too much of a problem. In fact being a guardian it may be easier. Just remember to heal after every fight.

You may want to set up 15 of your most powerful mines (if you have them)on the walkway you came into the room on. Once you have fought him to the point of which he has no more Jedi to feed off of, start to lead him towards these mines, using grenades as you lead him on. At one point he will start throwing his saber and even sometimes make a terrific leap at you with his saber. If his health is less then half, leading him into these mines should eliminate him.
When I used this tactic he did one of his leaps at me while I was running away from him and turning to throw my dual saber every time he threw his. He of course passed over the mines and BAM!!!, down he went.

Although dear Jack Dell disagrees, the make of a soldier/guardian is my favourite way of dealing with hostiles in kotor. There is nothing wrong with ur PC. I think there is just a matter of how u deal with Malak. Jack Dell can best the bugger with a light consular... that is pretty awesome.. in my books.

So, with a build like yours, you probably want to consider items.... as with most melee builds, the power that they weild is exponentially tied to the gloves, weapons, robes/armour, belts that they use in battle.

Of course, feats and powers will help too. But really, I have nothing but power attack and burst of speed.. and it was still fun watching Malak running off after 1 turn.

The items you want to consider are expensive but worth every credit... I dunno if you have them already...
Spoiler
1) Dominator gloves (+5 to strength)
2) Electric Capacitance Belt (Immunity to Storm)
3) Verpine Shield (I din even use this one)
4) Implant (Immmunity to Critical Strike or Poison)
5) Darth Bandon's special RED double lightsaber
6) Solaris and Upari....
7) Stabilizer Mask

Hope this helps....
