Couldn't find any lists already in existence by doing a quick search. I'll add a few to start.

Ring/ cloak/ necklace of protection +1/+2
Ring of Gaxx (-2 to all)
Helm of balduran (-1 to all)
Robes of (alignment) magi (-1 to all)

Jarrakul

This is everything I can think of. I'm sure I'm missing a bunch of SOD items, at the very least.

Both games:
Cloak of Displacement, -2 to death, breath, and wand
Adoy's Belt, -5 vs. polymorph
Claw of Kazgaroth, -3 to all except death, +4 penalty to death
Gift of Peace, -1 to all

BG1 only:
Cloak of Balduran, -1 to all

Bg2/TOB only:
Montolio's Cloak (upgraded), -1 to all
Belt of Inertial Barrier, -5 to breath
Foebane (upgraded), -1 to all
Human Flesh Armor (upgraded), -4 to all
Necklace of Form Stability, -3 to polymorph

Here are some Beamdog items, from looking through the lists @ajwz made. Awkward to do this mid-thread, but I'm switching to the standard "+ means bonus, - means penalty" notation.

BG2EE:
Wooden Horse Necklace (+2 all)
Cloak of the Dark Moon (+2 all at night)
The Visage (+1 all)

SoD:

Mosela's Cudgel (+2 vs. Alteration spells)
Firefly (+2 to all for Halflings)
Spell Breaker (+4/+2 vs. Spell for Wizard Slayers and Inquisitors/others)
Dragonscale Shield (+3 vs. Death)
Crommus's Capelet (+2 vs. Enchantment spells)
Silver Circlet (+1 all)
Helmet of Dumathion (+1 vs. Death)
Clasp of Helm (+3 vs. Necromancy spells)
Ring of the Crusade (+1 all)

...and Adoy's Belt was already mentioned.

I really appreciate so much info, especially @joluv

My thinking behind this was wondering just how low I can hope to get saving throws in the late game... Having a refresh on all the helpful items is useful.

In that case, remember that paladins get an innate +2 bonus to all saves just for being paladins.
