Other clerics out there that might be able to confirm this as to see whether it's random glitch or universal thing? |

Combat log is notoriously inaccurate. It looks like a crit is rolled and confirmed but it doesn't look like critical damage was applied. It could be that the script blocks that part of it rather than denying critical hit confirmation rolls. |

Partial Character List: Chardon: Mystic theurge lich. Devourer of souls and those little powdery mints people have at weddings. Akki Takki: Kobold rebuker. Raised as a petitioner in the court of Kurtulmak before fleeing. Opkfrumjotunn: Troll beserker. Planar mercenary. Az'kar: Bladeling assassin. Noms on his victims. Tyiedrni Pohuunrakihu: Skeletal minion of Chardon. Not much of a reader. Lorkata: Self proclaimed prophet of Chaos, Doomguard member. | |

Hmm, judging the image it doesn't say that it would've been a critical hit though, just that you were hit. Rolling 20 is automatic hit still (Even if you'd be immune to critical), but the following threat roll decides whether or not it is critical, this one appears to have failed to make the threat roll successful in any case. As in you'd be immune to the multiplication of damage rolls by the weapon type which seems like wouldn't have happened even without the immunity due to failed threat roll. For further elaboration:

looks like my bad again I've seen somewhere especially on undead that a hit is completely ignored by them when you score it I thought it will at list eliminate dmg if they do not override AC. |

Reshar is using Living Undeath a lot in the Abyss and it works great against both crits and sneak attacks from the Shadow Demons, Babaus, Erinyes ect. IMO spell works normal. |

It happens DnD has so many abstract rules to it.

I followed this logic: If Crit range scored - and total AB is lower or equal defenders AC then Crit is just normal attack that passes With Crit immunity I thought there will be no Damage at all in such case. |

Confirmed that Living Undeath works as normal. The only surprise is when you lose it courtesy of a Greater Restoration. |

That's because the restoration is curing a negative effect (the whole, "shit man, you look fracking terrible!" aspect), so shouldn't be surprised at all. From a mechanical point of view, its because it is a linked effect. The CHA penality and the immunity to crits are linked, so when one goes, so does the other. Its used a lot in spells with multiple effects. Sometimes this is badly implemented (or incorrectly, eg: not at all!) or as in this case, 100% correctly.
