I'm looking for a tool to help me as a DM for encounter design--I basically want a list of every effect or condition by saving throw. I want maybe 50% of the encounters in an adventure to be something themed, e.g. "the Sulatar mages use fire spells and illusions" and I want the players to notice that they are constantly rolling Dex and Int saves when facing Sulatar drow. In other words, I might want an encounter where the players are facing a ton of Str saves, so I want to know what my options are in statting out that encounter.
Does anything like this exist? I've found a lot of analysis on measuring saving throws as monster defenses--PhoenixPhyre made an excellent spreadsheet that contains a comprehensive analysis of monster defenses at all CRs--but nothing that specifies the variety of possible attacks, and a list of those attacks.
Edit--I found this
https://www.optionalrule.com/2021/04/15/5e-spell-save-damage-breakdown/
and this
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZFslKzZnYUhjCjYVz3-cDSQiQAfP8IADmSaXjkiQew/edit#gid=485997415
which is not quite what I'm looking for. I want the underlying data. Which are the 16 spells that inflict Blindness? What are the however many monster abilities that inflict blindness?
