I had an idea today that I have no idea how to pull off. How would you build a character that is immune to as many things as possible? I'm talking special attacks, spells, poison, disease, conditions, and anything or everything else. No level limit so go hog wild to 20 if you want with wealth to match.
I haven't had time to sit down and try this myself yet, but will try as soon as I can. Just thought I'd throw this up on the boards to see if anyone had any juicy ideas. My first instinct was some kind of paladin or monk, maybe a mix of the two?
Dwarf Witchunter Inquisitor with Steel Soul and Glory of Old
High Will/Fort saves progression (+12)
+5 Racial vs Magic
+5 Knowledgeable Defense
+5 Cloak of Resistance
14/16 Con/Wis (+2/+3)
Belt/Headband +6 (+3save)
= +32 Fort/+33 Will
So you only fail saves on a 1.
The STALWART class ability says whenever you make a save that allows a save for a reduced effect you instead take No effect.
Then if you take the Travel domain that gets you Freedom of Movement.
So you ignore Magic/Obstacles.
Alchemist. Plain and simple. A player in our group is an alchemist and he has YONS of immunities and save bonuses vs pretty much anything as an alchemist. Not sure how, but there are plenty of good things they can do.

Impressive!
A dip in paladin which could help too, for fear immunity and slightly better saves. I'd also take a ring of evasion, just to be sure, since your saves should be still decent even in that department.
spelling errors in thread titles always remind me of the third edition barbarians for some reason.
Anyhow I believe the OP asked for complete immunities, not "very high saves". It´s easiest through race, so venturing in the bestiary would be my first step.
The second question you have to ask yourself is if you prefer several immunities to small conditions or rather 1-2 of the big ones.
The unbreakable fighter has a great capstone ability of being immune to mind-effects, quite broad. There is also a monk with the capstone of being immune to death effects and negative levels I believe.
A beast-bonded witch with a construct familiar is close to being a construct herself and profits of a ton of immunities.
So my entry is for elemental martial artist:
as monk: immunity to fatigue, immunity to exhaustion, immunity to stunning, immunity to death effects and energy drain.
as elemental:Immunity to bleed, paralysis, poison, sleep effects, and stunning.
and as secondary "immunities":
flanking, sneak attack, everything that causes eating, sleeping or breathing problems. (example: choke spell)

Still 223k gold left to spend. I believe this character has pretty much everything he needs to be a defensive power house. He doesn't fail any save that I know of, and his AC is near unhittable. Then we have his 31 Spell Resistance which is quite beastly. The rest of the money would be spent on wands scrolls of random useful spells like prot from fire/acid/elec/cold. Stoneskin isn't really needed as you have a natural DR 10/-. Pretty decent attempt at a survivalist character I think. Also still has 3 rogue talents unused.

If the game is capped at level 20 which some games are and some are not then id say your best bet is the following:
Race: Half Elf
Class: Summoner (Synthesist Archetype)
Stats: Str = 10
Dex = 10
Con = 17 with racial modifier
Int = 13
Wis = 14
Cha = 14
when leveling add 3 to con and 2 to cha
take the Half Elf Favored Class Option for Summoner
Eidolon's base form Aquatic
Powers obtained via Eidolon = -Fast Healing x4
-Natural Armor x5
-Limbs x3
-Claws x3
-All 5 immunities
Feats = -Extra Evolution x5
-Toughness
-Dodge
-Combat Expertise
-Combat Reflexes
-Resilient Eidolon
this build with no items magical or other wise gives the following statistics at lv 20 when infused with your Eidolon:
Heath = 320 with out Eidolon and 485 when fused with it
Immunity to all damage excluding force, physical, positive and negative
Fast Healing 4
7 attacks a round at full bab each (15)
AC = 51 with out Combat Expertise and 56 with Combat Expertise
Self Healing via Class spell list
^no magic items^
if you want to equip crap you can do that math your self
If the game is capped at level 20 which some games are and some are not then id say your best bet is the following:
The build might benefit from Undead Appearance. Immunity to: Disease, exhaustion, fatigue, paralysis, poison, sleep effects, and stunning.
Damage Reduction for added durability.
If using cheesy min-maxing dumping physicals, going venerable age, for a starting charisma of 25, adding in items and ability score increases. With two paladin levels, that becomes +13 to every save.
Or for the AC approach, a monk lvl for a wisdom bonus to AC around +10.
Clone spell. You may not be immune, but even death is temporary.

I started my build this morning. Then I opened this thread and realized I was outclassed.
Appologies for the title. It was late and I was tired.
I'm really impressed with that multiclassed character class list. How long did it take you to figure that one out? I am most impressed with that summoner build. But then again it's a summoner and I shouldn't have expected any less.
And leave it to Tiny Coffe Golem to come up with a single-spell solution, even if it doesn't quite match what I'm looking for. :)
You can also magic jar (or use a beast bonded witch) an arbiter familiar.

It's my gift and my curse.
Edit: There's also a 10th level alchemist archtype that effective allows you to have a lot of simacrlum and use those as your bodies. With just a little planning you're effectively immortal and can "die" as often as you want. ;-)
With that dwarf bit in the second post, add in an internal alchemist and now you breathe twice a day.
Maybe some paladin dips too

You can fail any save with a roll of 1. Psion psycho had the right idea. The synthesist archetype has straight immunities. Take extra evolution as necessary to get as many as possible as well as favored clad bonuses that award ep. With the transmorgify spell you can change these multiple times a day in case you're missing something for a particular situation.
Some1 post id like to see if any1 comes up with some thing on par with or better than my summoner please.
Leveled my Paladin/Synthesist up to 20.

202 Eidelon HP
266 Gnome HP
Assuming a +5 magic weapon, her full attack with rapid shot at a foe within 30' is +33(two arrows)/+28/+23/+18/+13, plus a potential bite (with reach) and tail slap, both at +29 for d6+5. First arrow (if it hits), gets 2d8+22 (magic bows give damage bonus to their arrows, right?), each additional arrow is 1d8+12.
That doesn't seem like enough for level 20. Crunching those numbers forced me to realize that this build is in dire need of Deadly Aim, so I swapped it out for Combat Casting at level 11.
So, with Deadly Aim, our full attack now becomes (assuming 30' range, which should be a given with all the teleportation magic at her disposal) +29(two arrows)/+24/+19/+14/+9 First arrow (if it hits), gets 2d8+30, each additional arrow is 1d8+20. Hasted will bring that up a point and add an extra attack.
Doesn't seem like enough, so we can add Bracers of Archery enchantment to the Bracers of Armor for another 25k. This will bring our attacks up to +31/+26/+21/+18/+14 or +32/27/22/18/14/31 hasted. For damage we do 2d8+31/1d8+21. Crit? 4d8+62/2d8+42) Evil target? Smite for an extra 10 to the attack roll, and an extra point of damage for every hit. And deflection bonus doubles vs. that target, for an extra five points of AC and Touch AC from the target of the Smite.
I've never played a character up to 20; how does that seem? I still can't hit Psycho's aquatic beast, so I'll have to settle for Banishment (DC 25 Will) until the Eidelon is gone and only the half-elf remains. I calculate him to have at least a +18 Will save (with no gear), so that won't be too easy. I'd sooner find a beach and send dire sharks and crocodiles out to flank him, and maybe a trumpet archon to cast banishment and dismissal for me.

How are you getting 320 HP with a d8 creature and 20 Con? Are you rolling the HP or using the PFS system?
Using the latter, and with two d10 Paladin levels as a headstart, I get
16(Paladin)+(5x18, Summoner levels)+(7x20, Con bonus)+20 (toughness)=266. That's with a 24 Con from a belt. Even the favored class bonus will only bring that up by 20 points, which is over 30 shy of your number for a straight summoner with no gear.
Speaking of favored class, I forgot mine. So add it to the Eidelon's HP, as per the Gnome racial option, to bring Jonah's total HP up to 486.

6F2I3Cavalier1: Paired Opportunist, Tactician BAB+5
With Cavalier's Tactician, you get to give all your allies Paired Opportunist. Between that and Inquisitor Solo Tactics, you get to act as if all your allies had Paired Opportunist and Broken Wing Gambit so that whenever any of you are attacked, all of you get Attacks of Opportunity!
Unfortunately, Broken Wing Gambit requires you to activate the effect by using a free action, so your allies wouldn't be able to trigger the effect.
Also. I'm not sure if you took any archetype for the fighter levels, but Drill Sergeant would give you the Tactician ability in place of Bravery at lv 2 so you don't need to dip into Cavalier for it.
