So I was making a crit build and I wanted to try it out on some enemies.

Then I noticed that for some enemies I wasn't critting against some enemies as much as I should of (I just thought that it was just bad luck).
One of those enemies that I couldn't crit against was the Lupine Warrior (Other being the Marefolk Shaman's Treant).

For testing sake I turned my crit chance to 100 to remove the chance of it being bad luck.
And I still couldn't crit against her or the Treant (I could crit against everything else).

Are they some enemies that are intented to be immune to crits or is this a bug?

Unless I'm mistaken, having a shield equipped prevents physical critical hits, so the Lupine Warrior (who is described with "an unadorned hoplon shield") might be immune through that. I'm not sure about the marefolk shaman or her treant, though, since neither of them appear to be wielding a shield.

Ah, thats probably the problem then.
I only thought shields prevent critical hits against physical attacks but looking at the description it's all criticals it defends from.
And looking into the code the Treant has a Wicker Shield equipped.
So this isn't a bug.
