Long time ago, when I was starting playing ADOM, Gray Elven wizard quickly became my favorite combo. However after many years, I scored my first 5 wins with melee orientated characters. I decided to go back to the past and give the character a chance.
Generally, the whole game was a piece of cake. Only two stressing moments were when in Haggar caves one creature (don't remember which one) took me to 1 hp and Mana Temple. N-V was wisely hiding in rear part of his chamber and he confused me so that I felt onto the altar (my fault, not wearing ring of mental stability). I don't know why he didn't sacrifice me - maybe guardians cannot pray? (the only other creature present was a spider) remark: my friend noticed that it was due to my high speed - I stepped out of the altar before the mage could pray. Just after I cornered him and hit with acid balls, powered from health.
Other guardians went without any problems. D:50 also without any stress, wand of destruction ending (I could easily kick Balors, but it was late and I wanted to finish playing). Also I didn't do undead greater vault on D:46 and unicorn quest. I only read 2 ?oCR to clean myself before departure. Other corruptions I cleaned during the game with potions of CC, they were not an issue.
Below the Casino I didn't find any altars (ran out of holy water), therefore I finished with unused ring of jinni in backpack.
Most interesting thing about this character- it has been the only case so far, when I had two surges of power in one game: in early game Shezestriakis and on D:35 scorched spear (never used).
From crowning I got shock immunity and Sun's Messenger (racial gift - not a pleasant one, though I already had RCT).
To sum up - grey elven wizard with RCT as a thrown weapon is a very powerful character. Playing it is a bit boring.
