As far as the tele wand removal in general, I don't think it's too much of a problem as I usually end games with 10-20 teleport scrolls, although I suppose that will depend on how often you need to use one. Maybe I'd have less scrolls if I didn't use the wand, I'm not sure how many times I zapped teleport in those games...
disintegration is now a pure dmg wand. so killholing only possible with digging/OOD
zot tele changes are: no PoG,cblink,blink scrolls - delayed teleport - in all zot 1-5. also increased vault density probably. i had my first ever zot5 death in 0.19 i think
sure step from time also helps but in general translocs were easy to get with him
and my point is just that chei is just so megabad in early and midgame (also the tele wand you might find there and which carried), that xom "might" be easier.. not 100% serious but for some species this might be true (those which struggle in that part by themselves)
not talking about endgame but chars dont need a god at that point
