An update to the combat system has given us more flexibility in making creatures immune to critical kills. As a part of this update, golem-like creatures have inherited this ability. In exchange for this immunity, their total hit points have been reduced by 20%.
In addition, it was discovered that disintegration criticals (from sources such as the Disintegrate (705) spell or weapon flares) were incorrectly killing non-corporeal undead, which are intended to be immune to critical kills. This is no longer possible, though these creatures will be susceptible to critical kills when Phased (704).
