And this does not mean just taking iron will and a cloak of resistance. I mean - what do you spend your wealth on?For example, Underdark has a set of armour which grants persistent mindblank. BOED has soulfire, which grants death ward. Heroes' feast (a 6th lv cleric spell) grants fear/poison immunity. Freedom of movement (available as a 4th lv cleric spell or a ring) makes you immune to grapple and paralysis. If you use tome of battle, any character can nab the diamond mind save boosts with feats (or a wizard can access it at a moment's notice with heroics), subbing in their concentration check in place of their normal save 1/encounter (so a wizard need worry less about failing his fort save, ditto for the fighter and his will save). If your wizard or rogue can enter necropolitan, all the better, with its laundry list of blanket immunities.Maybe 3e was more like a game of "rock, paper, scissors"...<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
