What makes one immune to Stun?

Elric

First Post
Besides being undead or a construct or something that by definition is immune to stun, is there any way to become immune to it. I'm not thinking of SR or Fort save here, but rather total immunity. It seems to me like every humanoid/dragon... can be stunned and that there is no general protection against it. Anything that I'm missing?

Thanks!

I assume that dragons are immune against paralyzation... IMHO that's the same as immunity against stunning effects.

Hmm, would Freedom of Movement help against stunning?

Dragons are NOT immune to stunning, it is not the same as paralyzation.

Only class I know of is the Sohei from OA, they get immunity from stunning effects at lvl 5.
 

IMC DM's are immune to stunning:D

Hehe, but seriously if you needed a way to be immune to stunning, you could probably make a magic item that does it.
 

If I recall right, not having a discernable anatomy is what makes something immune to stunning, for the most part.

Undead are immune to stunning
Constructs are immune to stunning
Ooze are immune to stunning
Plants are immune to stunning
Elementals are immune to stunning

So barring some supernatural ability that says "Hey, you're immune to stun now. Go you." gained from a spell, or class/prc.. nah, I can't think of anything.
 

Hmm....at 10th level, the elemental savant gets the elemental template, giving him immunity to stunning...thats the only thing i know of.
 

Actually, if I recall right Elemental Savants get immune to stun before they reach 10th level.

One sec, lemme check.

Edit-Additional: Yup, there we go. 3rd stage of Elemental Transition. Stage One(1st level): Immune to Sleep effects. Stage Two(4th level): 60ft Darkvision, Immune to Paralysis. Stage Three(7th level): Immune to Stun.

Dragons can even be HELD, since HOLD MONSTER or the likes is a HOLD effect and HOLD effects are by the rules different from paralyse effects.

Bummer for the dragon.
 

I know one of the functionings of the spell Favour of Ilmater (pg. 93 MaoF)makes the subject immune to stunning. Perhapse a use actived magic item with that spell would work for you.
 

A few spells that make you immune to stunning:

Elemental Body (Sor/Wiz 7) from MotP
- Basically gives you elemental characteristics and, among them, immunity to stunning

Iron Body (Sor/Wiz 8) from PHB
- Gives you a ton of immunities including stunning

Shapechange (Sor/Wiz 9) from PHB
- When you change forms with this spell, your type changes as well. Therefore, assuming undead, elemental, or construct forms will make you immune to stunning.
