non-mind-affecting will saves?

Can anybody think of any spells that give will saves but are not mind-affecting?

We're going up against a bunch of undead and one of them is a high level fighter/rogue/assassin templated wight, so he has weak will saves but is immune to mind-affecting abilities.

Bestow Curse is nice. He'll have a hard time doing much of anything with -6 to all his stats, -4 to most rolls, and a 50% chance to give up all of his actions. :)

I'd do it in the following order:

-4 to most rolls (including saves)
50% loss of action
-6 wisdom
-6 dex
-6 strength

If you have two casters you can really hammer him hard.
 


Well, there's all the illusions, plus:

Banishment
Bestow Curse
Chaos Hammer
Chill Metal
Command Undead
Control Undead
all the Cure/Inflict spells
Death Knell
Dismissal
Glitterdust
Halt Undead
Harm
Heal
Heat Metal
Holy Smite
Imprisonment
Magic Jar
Open/Close (for all the good it does you)
Order's Wrath
Plane Shift
Repulsion
Sanctuary
Shatter
Slow
Soul Bind
Undeath to Death
Unholy Blight

I would be worried with a weak Will save, even if I was immune to mind affecting effects. As an undead of course, the BBEG has a bunch of immunities (such as against stun ), deafening etc. does not really faze him, and if he is not a magic user (or heavily dependent on magic items) Antimagic Aura does not really hinder him all that much.
Telekinesis might be a good call, if you can throw the BBEG into some inconvenient place (such as into a lava pit etc. ), though.
