How many ways are there to lower your saves - (including item upgrade mod):
Here are my ideas: - Potion of invulnerability (+5) - Improved invisibility (+4) (Mislead also ?) - Spirit Armor (+3) Best items: - Human Flesh Armor (+5) - Amulet of Ilmater (+3) - Ring of Gaxx (+2) - RoP +2 (+2) - Foebane +5 (+1) So, what did I forget ?

Oh, yes !
I'll try to find the stats myself but can you also give the amount of save lowering ? like Cloak of Displacement (death breath wand +4) Belt of Inertial Barrier (breath +5) Helm of Balduran (+1) I'm trying to make a list of all items.

Human Flesh Armor gives a +4 bonus to saves, not +5.
Don't overlook Potions of Magic Shielding (or is it Magic Blocking? Something along these lines), which gives a +20 (!) bonus. Being a Dwarf / Halfling / Gnome with 18 CON gives +5 save vs. spells and +5 save vs. death (wands if you're a gnome).

The ring of Earth Control (or elemental mastery with IUM) provides a +1 bonus. The Claw of Kazgaroth provides +3 to saves vs spells, breath and wands, but has a -4 penalty to death saves. The Cloak of Displacement provides a +2 bonus to death, breath and wand Other items: Skin of the Ghoul, +3 saves vs death Helm of Defence, +1 Bonus Taking the Good Path for the Greed (?) test in the Nine Hells provides a +2 bonus |

Of course they do. My bad. To clarify: With 18 CON, Dwarves and Halflings get +5 save vs. spells, death and wands. Gnomes get +5 save vs. spells and wands.

It's Potion of Magic Shielding alright.
Blur gives a +1 Saves bonus, as does the Cloak of Balduran.

Now, was it the Shield of the Lost or the Darksteel Shield that also granted Save bonuses? I always get those two mixed up.
Knave's / Adventurer's / Traveler's Robes all give +1 bonus to 1 Save Archmagi Robes give +1 bonus to all 5 Saves Helm of Defense gives +1 to all 5
