Pathfinder questions

I guess I've been living under a rock for awhile, and just heard about Pathfinders, and I was told that they fixed the critical hit system in 3.5, making it possible to deliver critical hits to monsters normally immune to critical hits. Can some one explain this to me?

Well, it's rather straightforward...

*clears throat*

You may now make critical hits and sneak attacks on creatures previously immune to them.

I believe the only creatures in Pathfinder who are immune to critical hits anymore are those completely devoid of any actual anatomy. In other words, oozes and ghosts.

Thanks everyone for the help

No kidding? I didn't catch on to that yet. Though I thought it weired the other night that plants could be critted. That would explain things. Ya know I'm gonna keep this under wraps till my players catch on.

The secret is out.

Pathfinder, despite its many detractors here, fixed many things. Criticals on most undead and constructs is definitely one of them. That said, it also doesn't fix many things, but I find it to be a tremendous source for good houserules for 3.5 play. It's Paladin, for example, is actually playable instead of the suck thatis the 3.5 Paladin.

This can't end well.

To be super technical and to quote from the sneak attack entry on the Rogue (thanks PF SRD!):

ToB's Paladin is also a viable alternative to the 3.5 Paladin.
