Most likely.

Also, I know MR will almost completely protect me from all spells, but. What other direct damage spells are there that ignore MR besides Dragon Breath?
Sunfire, but only when cast by party members. Wierd, yet fun.
Make those Drow suffer.

Bolt of Glory bypasses MR, but no one will cast it on you anyway.

Earthquake, but, just like BoG, don't expect to deal with it. Not 100% sure about this.

Teleport isn't a direct damage spell, but it bypasses MR AND allows no save. A truly devilish spell versus melee opponents if used correctly.

Imprisonment also bypasses MR.

Implosion. ToB only.

And what other negative effects, that aren't really spells, are stopped by MR?
Almost none.

Quote:
Disease?
Depends on the source of the Poison.
Once your'e poisoned, MR makes no difference.
Quote:
Poison?
Ditto.
Quote:
Acid traps?
Hmmm... Not sure, but i my guess would be yes.
One of the veteran soloers might know better.

Quote:
Attribute draining attacks?
Like? STR Drain and the like? Probably not.

Quote:
Level drain?
Nope.

Quote:
The charm cast by Alu Fiends and Succubus?
Nope.

Quote:
Anti-magic rays?
Nope.

Quote:
Irenicus Shatter Magic ability?
Don't know.
But since it is a Weimer creation, but guess would be no.
