Add MR to Potion of Resistance
Why? Mainly because MR is a very valuable commodity and a lack of can make the game a very dangerous. It only takes a single MR check to quickly put you in dire situation but what if a reasonable MR bonus came as a limited resource.
Adding an MR bonus to !resistance has a similar game play effect as the elemental components of the potion has; a temporary defensive buff, Most often used to fill a specific gap in your resistances, before engaging or fleeing a dangerous foe. Although it give 4 resistances, you'll rarely use more than one. An MR bonus would accomplish the same thing for a higher valued attribute (unlike elemental resistance, MR cant be replaced by AC, EV or HP).
This Also put a higher value on !resistance which makes for more meaningful choices.
I'm sure this has come up before, but I found nothing when I searched.
