GM's comments:
There are also cold, divine, disease, heat, magic, mental, and poison resists. These help resist outright many instant effects (such as save or die etc), mitigate damage on damage effects, and mitigate duration on other effects.
But a high wis helps to be missed by spell effects altogether, negating the need for any mitigation.
