Does pnts in fortitude keep purlovia from knocking you out?
I just want to walk through the woods fearless of these guys. With no pets to assist me and no pnts in health (don't ask why).

That's a stun not torp like from troodons

Copied from the wiki:
"Fortitude is a measure of your resistance to the Weather, Torpidity, and Disease. A higher Fortitude increases your natural Hypothermic and Hyperthermic insulation, reduces rate of defecating near Tyrannosaurus roar, and lessens the effects that you receive from Hypothermia and Hyperthermia. It also gives you resistance to Torpidity-increasing effects such as consumption of Narcotic, hits from Tranquilizer Arrow or Slingshot, Scorpion stings and other Torpidity-inducing attacks from creatures."

TL;DR: No
What measures can you take to protect against a Purlovia besides having a pet to fight for you?

Avoid piles on the ground?

"If you do get attacked, pray that you will survive throughout the stun duration, and either retreat or fight back with recommended weaponry. Once you can fight back, Purlovia is not a tough enemy.

Landing an arrow during their initial jump attack prevents stunning.
As soon as you're stunned, spam 5 to 10 healing potions, and you'll survive. Tested with flak armor.
If you blocked the surprise attack with a shield you can remain your shield active while you are stunned to block incoming damage."

Bring a Parasaur set to Alarm.
Wear ghillie armor and sneak around.

Purlovia are not really a problem, they wont jump anything over a certain size thats a carnivore I think sloths (megatherium) is the smallest they will ignore? the real problem are tacklecats (thylacoleo) - they are far worse than purlovia and will attempt to yank you off any dino , but moving through the forest quickly can throw off their aim, spino sails are particularly effective at messing up the tackle when on the move.

Also I hear wolves can sniff purlovia out, though I dont use wolves so I cant confirm how practical it is to use this. If your on foot and you see a purlovia 'rock' you can chuck grenades at it to force the little bastards out of hiding.
I'm low level on foot with no pets. I do not want advice that includes having pets. NO PETS I SAID. NO MODS. NO CHEATS. NO SINGLE PLAYER. NO INCREASED RATES. NO WHIMPS WHO THINK THEY ARE ACTUALLY PLAYING THIS GAME WHEN IN EASY MODE.

But I spaced the parasaur's talent so appreciate that advice. Also want to test wolves' sniff someday that is on the to-do list now so thx.

Ghillie armor is to fragile to risk at this stage. It is better saved for hunting. I'm solo no tribe. I have no points in health and potions are not avail to me atm, but I appreciate the reminder one can make them and it's closest answer to my problem so far. I like the idea you can drink potions when stunned hoping it's for real.

Thyla's don't bother me on foot. Just run from them like you would a saber.

I get that you do not want advice about cheats or mods, not sure why you do not want advice about having a tame with you ?

Should always have at least 1 tame set to attack your target when roaming in the redwoods (assuming that is where you are since that is where most Purlovia's congregate). I mean if you refuse to do the basics in the game what is it you really expect from us for advice ?

Only thing i can think of that might fall into your very narrow request for advice is to equip a shield and hold it up at all times when in Purlovia territory (ie redwoods)
