Ctrl-R by itself might work.

I have learned from a very knowledgeable member that Ctrl-R also can remove some kit abilities, which are granted through permanent ability, and therefore are susceptable to removal by such 'all dispel' type spells as Ctrl-R and a beholders anti-magic rays. But, anti ...

Well, if you want to truly RP as Feanor (I myself opted to RP his brother, Fingolfin), I suggest that you do not focus so much on his physical fighting skills. He was more renowned as being the most skilled of the Noldoli, and as such I would opt for him being more mage/thief oriented than fighter ...

For chain contingency, my favorite is Mislead + Tensers + Imp. Haste at hit points: 20%. You will be invisible, fully healed with double the HP and a fighter's THAC0, and imp. hasted - with something like the Staff of the Ram + 6, you will be a veritable fighting machine!

For triggers and the like ...

After duelling from a wizard slayer to a thief, you can pick the 'Use Any Item' ability at level twenty four, which overrides the Wizard Slayer's magical items restriction.

Maze is idenitified as a Conjuration / Summoning spell, so theoretically for a mage 'Spell Immunity - Conjuration' should stop it, but I will have to test this. Also, 'Protection from Magic' scrolls prevent you from being mazed, but unfortunately these are few and far between. If you are being mazed ...

What you have to do is exit the Temple of Bhaal area, go backwards through the Thieves Maze, and exit to the farm area north-east of Baldur's Gate. Exit through the top of that area, and you should then be able to ...

To get the extra merchants, you either need to install them via the extra disk included with the collectors edition and pre-ordered edition, or you need to download them. You can download them from GameBanshee, convieniently located under the 'downloads' section.

Woohoo! I am a guinea pig extraordinare! I tested your tactic on Invisible Stalkers. Suprisingly, it did not work out how you and I thought it would.

By choosing the option 'Cast Improved Haste on party members', your summons are not affected; only my party was Improved hasted.

IIRC, there are absolutely no temples in the Underdark. My suggestion, if you cannot reload to a previous point, is to raise your characters by enabling key commands and pressing 'Ctrl + R' over their portraits. It should fix them up just fine ;) .
