@_ShamelessJamesIf a creature (i.e. a skeleton) is immune to critical hits, are they not immune to sneak attacks as well from a rogue?
no

@_ShamelessJamesSo a skeleton cannot be critically hit as they lack mortal vulnerabilities, but they can be victims of a sneak attack? How so?
a skeleton can be critically hit – not sure any creatures in 5e cannot take crits

@_ShamelessJamesOK DM ruled it wrong. But how? A critical hit exploits a vulnerability. Where on an animated statue does it hurt more to be hit?
an existing crack that’s exploited and widened. Any joint. Any point in the structure that’s critically load bearing.
