a wand of distintegration seldom kills any of the greater gods because
they have a better save throw for magical attacks.  these are the ones
that a wand of disintegration can affect:  demon prince (Jubilex), arch
devil (Geryon), arch devil (Dispater), demon prince (Yeenoghu), lesser
god (Hruggek), lesser god (Kurtulmak), demigod (Vaprak "The Destroyer"),
chromatic dragon (Tiamat), demon prince (Orcus).

it is not possible to affect any of these by a wand of disintegration:
platinum dragon (Bahamut), arch devil (Baalzebul), arch devil
(Asmodeus), demon prince (Demogorgon), greater god (Maglubiyet),
greater god (Gruumsh), lesser god (Skoraeus Stonebones).

i might have one or two in the wrong categories.  these are all the
unique monsters.  if you can pursuade the person who installed your
version of srogue to tell you the wizard's password, then you can
experiment in relative safety and find out what they do.  many
regenerate fast enough that you need something like a +5,+5 two-handed
sword to even have a slight chance of killing them.
