Does Fortification armor negate stunning?

[Dwarmaj]

Would it negate stunning attacks at the same rate that it negates criticals?

Creatures immune to criticals can't be stunned, but the wording of the Fortification enhancement only mentions criticals and sneak attacks.

Any ideas?

One way of interpreting Fortification is to say that it only affects crits and sneak attacks, so that's it. Nothing else is mentioned, so stunning attacks still work.

Another way of interpreting it is to say that it gives you an X% chance of being immune to crits (per hit). Since stunning attacks don't work if you're immune, it indirectly protects against these attacks as well.

Use the one that seems most intuitive to you. Personally, I lean towards the latter.

This is the one I lean towards. I think if it helped against stunning it would explicitly say.

I'm with Crothian here, too.

You will need more than Fortification armor to stop a monk from stunning you.

Too bad nothing saves you from Stunning.
One of those oddities of the rules I guess, or maybe it was something to help out monks and mind flayers.
