Fastest way to become immune to crits 24 hrs / day?


Advice


Just curious, I was wondering what is the fastest way you can think of to become immune to critical hits 24/7? Is it to advance an Oracle revelation giving you Elemental Body? A Sorcerer Bloodline? Are there any spells that last hours/level that make you immune?
At what earliest level can you make this happen!!!

Die.

Now you're an object, and thus immune to crits.

The drawbacks are nasty, though. ;)

Sovereign Court

Buy a Handy Haversack full of Jingasas.

Every time someone lands a crit on you (and is blocked by the jingasa) replace it with a fresh one from your haversack.

Now now...nothing in the rules says anything about how being dead impairs your actions. It's not that bad, really! :)

The only actions allowed are pining for the fjords.

On the contrary, it's noted in more than one place in the Core Rulebook that death means your soul leaves your body. Your soul is welcome to take actions, but might have difficulty having any meaningful impact on the campaign unless there's a lot of planar travel going on. Meanwhile, your soul-less body is an object unless it gets animated as an undead. Objects, unless they get animated, don't get to take actions.

And if it becomes undead - it's no longer immune to crits!

There is a problem with this. You still only get one immediate action/round, so you are not immune to two critical hits in a row.

10th level as a Cave Druid you can Wild Shape into an ooze for 8 hours at a time, two times per day. Get a Druid's Vestments (only 3.75k) that lets you use Wild Shape one more time, and voila! 24 hours (minus the 18 or so seconds necessary to re-Wild Shape) as an ooze!

Grand Lodge

Wear a Jingasa.

After you've taken a critical hit, swallow a gutstone. That will make you immune to crits for a week until you've taken 10 hp of critical damage.

It's pricy though for a one-time use item.


Wild shape into an elemental (10th level druid)?

Elemental body 3 (6th level wizard spell)?

Liberty's Edge

A lot of tree shape spells?

Any evil spellcaster can become a worm that walks, apparently, so 1st level?.

Death is a total trap option! ;D


Technically, the Race Builder is Paizo material, right :p?

In which case, build a Warforged at 20 RP (Construct type). You are now immune to critical hits as early as level 1.


My personal favorite is the feat Fortified Armor Training combined with Quick Draw and about 500 quickdraw bucklers.

Oh you got crit? Have it break your non-magical shield you weren't using and then drop the shield and grab a new one! Bonus points if a party member has Mending and can fix them.


Flame oracle with "Form of Flame" revelation gets it at level 7 to turn into small fire elemental for 1 hour per level.


don't go into battle?


jignsa hat or that enhancment fortification thing is all I can think of

or play an ooze monster


This is for a very limited amount of time per day, but I think it may be the fastest-- the Life mystery's energy body gives you immunity at level 1 potentially, you gain the elemental subtype.
