I'm not surprised by him being immune to crit/SA in the slightest. He's (i'm sure) also immune to ability damage and drain, as well as anything that requires a fort save but doesn't effect objects (being undead and all). He's probably also got an SR in the 40-50 range, as well as upwards of 1000 hp, and an AC in the mid to high 50s. That's my assumptions that I made going into building my character. I'd imagine that he also has improved uncanny dodge and improved evasion/mettle as well.
finally, i'd assume that his attacks do negative levels and ability damage/drain, which will most likely bypass your deathward type protection.
I figured the AC part which is why I built my weapon/abilities to hit his touch, flat footed, no deflection AC. I didn't take into account the precision damage immunity which actually doesn't effect Undead in pathfinder as neither traits nor type say it doesnt.
sorry, I meant that he's immune to fort save stuff cause he's undead.
We know:
He's a 50ft. Tall suit of pitch black spiked full plate with pure oblivion seeping through the chinks. He's lawful evil.
So, good buffs are?

Death ward. You'll definitely want death ward.

Undershooting for HP and AC
Negative energy is the one thing I'm actually not worried about... Death effects on the other hand...

Energy drain?

Good point. Potion (or scroll) it is! Then again, I suppose I don't want to do that until I see his energy drain ability first hand. Unless its a burst, I should be good.
It feels odd, playing a character that can easily one shot a tarrasque... And be able to full around attack Lucifer (who is statted by the way) into unconsciousness.
Yeah, I'm not really maxing out anything, but I think I'm making a character that's powerful...enough, for my tastes. He can deal something like 500 damage on a melee full attack, without any buffs except for smite evil. I do believe that I'm making him for durability more than damage, though.
Speaking of,
I'm 90% finished with the dragon. However, the statblock is stuck on my malfunctioning computer, and I still need to spend 1.6 million gold. It's all I have left to do, though.
So uh, I'll do my best to have it posted soon.
This is what I've got at the moment. Criticism, admiration, comments are appreciated, as long as they aren't mean.

Excuse, I forgot to count his bonus HP from mythic tiers - 50 bonus HP, for a total of 598 hit points. I also need to include the basic mythic abilities somewhere on the completed sheet.
If you take a look at my character sheet, the breakdown that I use via spoilers tends to compartmentalize the info in a way that's easy to find.
FanaticRat and leinathan make aliases and post in the discussion thread. I'll get you in next round.
At first I just kinda lost interest in this but now?
I think Timelord Tim is dead (the wizard/alchy) but I might just have to try to build up a new character :)
Are you ok if I build the one-hit build?
The one-hit build will hit for a truly massive amount of damage, well into the thousands, and as a static number.
I will literally do something like;
I attack. rolls 1d20+xx
if I hit, I do xxxx damage. My turn is done.
Now it looks like he won't come in this round, so it would have to be next round and all of this will be moot if everything is blown to bits anyways XD
I don't mind.
Realizing I made a lapse in thinking :(
The one-hit build needs to charge to get the massive amount of damage and needs to vital strike to have all the damage maximized :(
The oversight is that you can't combine the two :(
So I'll probably have to change some stuff around and it won't do nearly as much damage , but we'll see :)

You can charge with vital strike. It's a useless feat otherwise.

I assume you mean this as a houserule (which is one I strongly agree with and implement in my home games). RAW you can't (which is why so many people think the vital strike chain is crap).
Yeah, it's a house rule.
O.o
Excelent >:)
