in Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition
will this character be immune to all debuffs/disables and instant death effects: berserker + hindo's doom + Edventar's Gift (or Flail of Ages +5) ?

do i miss any of negative magic effects?

is there another build that is also magic immune? (excluding hp damage spells)

by immune i also mean undispellable and unbreachable

    You'll still have some weaknesses.. like petrification from basilisks and https://baldursgate.fandom.com/wiki/Flesh_to_Stone - if i'm not mistaken

    Mindflayers can still eat your brain (-5 Intelligence on hit, below 1 and you die.. hence tanks should have at least 11)

    Other then that.. there's probably some spells out there, but i can't remember right now.
    Possibly some Demi Lich abilities, that are cheesily enough not counted as spells but abilities.

    All-in-all though, you're pretty safe with just Enrage alone.
    I wouldn't care about Free Action from items because chances are it's not gonna be an issue while using Enrage, but it will take your Haste away.. which is bad.

    There are other builds that can be completely immune to targeted spells, i can't think of any other than Bards and Thieves (Multi or Dual will also work as long as you get Thief High-Level Abilities)
    By using the "Use Any Item" HLA, you can mix and match equipment to your hearts desire and 100% magic resistance is not outside of reach.

    Fighter/Thief using Carsomyr, Gaxx ring, Kaligun's Amulet of Magic Resistance and the finished human skin armor have 90% Magic Resistance.. Then there's the Machine of Lum the mad and the tear of Bhaal..

    In any case, 100% magic resistance is not hard to get if you really set your mind to it.
    Wizard Slayer dual classed to thief makes it even easier, the higher you go with WS.. but ditto long time until you get thief HLA for Use Any Item.

    Please note that if you are worried about basilisks, there are a number of places in SoA that sell protection from petrification scrolls. This protection lasts for 6 hours, so if you know basilisks (or other enemies with flesh to stone abilitiy) are in your near future, you can cheese them into oblivion with these.
