Undead immune to crits / sneak attack?


Rules Questions


In a recent battle, one of the people at out table claimed undead were immune to crits and sneak attacks, memory served me that this was a rule from an older edition?

I can't find that they are in the bestiary, can anyone confirm or deny this?


Undead are no longer immune to criticals and sneak attacks. They were immune in 3.5, but that was changed in Pathfinder. Simply read the Undead type in the back of the Bestiary. Since it is not listed, they don't get it.

And there was much rejoicing by rogues ;)

Unless otherwise noted, only these critters are immune to sneak attack and critical hits:

1) Elementals
2) Oozes
3) Incorporeals (not all undead)

The person at the table noted the 3.5 rule, not the Pathfinder one.
