We don't talk about Pun-Pun
Immunity to conditions (Charmed can be quite annoying and is not terribly rare), resistance/immunity to damage, advantage on saving throws. Occasionally an enemy will have something that can disrupt spellcasting ala Counterspell or disable a spell effect like Dispel Magic. Oh and I guess not being able to provide components like Silence or something.
Non-magic characters usually only have to worry about resistance/immunity to weapon damage or something that can disrupt an attack (I've seen critters with a "defensive duelist" style Parry for example). With the addition of weapon masteries, immunity to conditions and advantage on saving throws can affect a non-magic character, but it's not as common.
This is in addition to the usual sort of conditions that prevent characters from acting at all, of course (stunned, incapacitated, frightened w/ forced movement, paralyzed, petrified, Confusion, Sleep, and so on).
I'm not, of course, counting "antimagic fields" or "wild magic zones" that some DM's favor. Or lighting spellbooks on fire or stealing material components- that's right up there with a Kender using Sovereign Glue to prevent someone from drawing their sword- a cruel and malicious prank.
