Sep 16, 2008 23:09:02 I am trying to make a character with immunity to everything, or at least a much as possible. I'm already planning a clay half-golem for piercing and slashing immunity, and since i need to be humanoid for that, i will probably take a class that ends ends transformation to a type with many immunities (currently thinking elemental savant, but suggestions welcome). so anyway, if anyone knows a playable race or class that somehow get bludgeoning immunity, pls tell, thank you.

Sep 16, 2008 23:50:35 For a hefty LA, you could take the Multi-headed creature template and go Learnean. They've got immunity to just about all forms of damage, except death effects and decapitation followed by fire or acid damage.

Sep 17, 2008 0:56:31 Ocean Giant from MM2 is immune to bludgeoning damage as an extraordinary special quality.

Death Knight from MM2 gets all of the typical undead immunities plus a few more, and is outright immune to turn/rebuke undead.

Sep 17, 2008 14:02:13 Zodar from Fiend Folio is immune to ALL damage that isn't bludgeoning damage. Find a way (Master Transmogrifist?) to grab Ocean giant's immunity to bludgeoning damage.

Alternatively you could be a Half-troll half-dragon and make yourself immune to all lethal damage.

Half-Troll only gives you Fast Healing 5.

Don't. It has a +23 LA.

With hit dice, a Learnean Multi-headed creature only has around a +8 LA.

Sep 17, 2008 22:35:50 i know about the learnean, i was thinking about making a lumi one a while back, but then my dm got wind of it and banned lernean creatures, thanks for the advice though

Then try to get a Troll or War Troll with the Half Dragon template. A pretty costly LA, but less so then an Ocean Giant.

Sep 18, 2008 13:53:40 If you can get regeneration somehow, the 8th level class feature of Crimson Scourge (Cityscape) makes you immune to nonlethal damage. A troll is ECL 11, so all you need to do is figure out how to get Acid and Fire immunity pre-Epic without being a spellcaster.

Sep 18, 2008 14:56:11 Wonder what on earth actually justifies that +23 LA. That monster looks really crappy.

Aye, I realized that, but couldn't edit my post because of the maintenance.
