    Default Is it possible? Full Magic Immunity?

    Hello! I know that Magic is really Powerfull in Pathfinder especially in the Higher Lvls. Actually i did some extensive Research, on how to beat High Lvl Enemy Spellcasters without being one yourself, and there are very very few options that Work reliably.

    Now i thought, Hey! What about a Character that is comepletly immune to Magic? He might not be able to kill a Wizard, but they won't pose a Threat to him either.
    So my Question now is: Does anyone have a build to get as close as one could get to full Magic Immunity?

    LVls are allowed up to Lvl 20
    NO 3.5 Material, NO 3 Party contend, NO Path of War.
    Everything offcial Pathfinder Book is allowed.

    I was just interested if it was possible, if someone has a functionall build.

    Awaken Construct, Major Mind Swap cast from a scroll so you can use UMD to pretend to be another race/species and your golem of choice.

    Keep in mind that "magic immunity" isn't really magic immunity. It's just infinite SR, but any spell that's SR: No will still affect you.

    Certain conjurations spells still affect golems

    Even if you rule UMD works that way, Major Mind Swap is still SR: Yes and so the target golem's immunity will block it.

    How do I keep forgetting SR exists

    This modification allows the construct to be worn like armor by its creator. So long as the creator wears it, the construct performs no independent actions, remaining under the control of the creator, and any attacks directed at the wearer first damage the construct. When a construct is destroyed while serving as armor, the wearer loses all the benefits, but regains all the hindrances until the armor is removed, which takes the same amount of time that removing breastplate armor does. If the construct is still active, the creator can order the removal of the armor with a swift action, at which point the construct leaves the creator’s space and enters a space adjacent to the creator. Donning construct armor takes a full-round action if the construct is still active. The creator cannot don a construct with this modification if the construct has been destroyed. The construct’s wearer retains his base attacks and saves. Construct armor counts as breastplate armor for purposes of determining AC, weight, Dexterity modifiers to AC, and chance of arcane spell failure.

    Well Thanks for the Answers, i was actually looking for a playable build.
    But good to know: Put a Psychic Bloodline Socerer into a Construct Armor and he will be unstoppable.
    EDIT:
    Actually, a Fighter with a Boatload of Money could just Purchase a Mithral Golem Construct Armor.
    Hell why didn't i think of that!

    Thanks!

    If you spring for an equal-size adamantine golem using the rules found here you can go hog wild

    You'd still not be truly magic proof, there's plenty of good SR:no spells and summons, buffs, etc. are entirely unaffected, the wizard can still have displacement and mirror image, in fact thanks you your magic immunity you can't get true seeing to counter those.

    Does construct armor give you the construct's immunity? Attacks have to damage it first, sure, but what about non-damaging spells? If you drink or inhale poison while wearing construct armor, what happens?

    All excellent questions and unfortunately there's no definitive answer. One would assume "attack" is defined somewhat like Invisibility does it, but there's still a 50/50 chance it's just attacks.

    Pathfinder also printed this goodie.
    The +4 save bonus wasn't in the original printing, but constructs tend to have kind of bad wisdom anyway.

    To answer OP, getting magic immunity only stops casters from wrecking your day with spells that have spell resistance. Spells that affect the environment like making pits or the wizard just flying while you can't are still going to give you a hard time, as is the wizard animating/creating/summoning/transmuting/enchanting/cajoling/baking/boiling/brazing stuff to beat you up.
    If any idiot ever tells you that life would be meaningless without death, Hyperion recommends killing them!

    Oh yeah, you don't want to be a construct, because this spell exists.

    That's right, no save mind control and no clause preventing actions against your nature or suicidal actions.

    Theoretically, "The construct cannot take independent actions" would prevent the mind control from working on the armour but most other construct disablers will still work.
