Double your stats. Increase your strength, endurance and will to increase your max hp. Also depending on your race, that could modify your total hp/mp and speed.

Eat good food. Check the innkeepers, butchers and bakers for some decent starting food. You'll want to farm and cook your own food late game because the stats you can get from them get crazy.

Also you could try killing bards in town and hope for a lute to drop and start building up music if you have the skill. Earning gold and platinum from doing the music quests in town is always worth it and you could buy better gear that way.

That's normal regarding the first few dungeons. What you should do is not to do it but start farming and training. The straw dummy is pretty good at training a few levels in melee and eating is the main way to get stat. Go get a healer from the main quest by the way help suitability a lot. The camp just northeast of your home, if you start at Meadow, also sells starting gear. The early good gear can be bought from the blackmarket in Derphy.
