dragonlance vs LOTR( dragon war)
after seeing the warcraft vs LOTR thread, how about another veruas thread.
Dragonlance pre-fifth age vs LOTR third age.
fifth age great dragons like Malys the massive 500 foot red dragon vs Melkor's dragons like Ancalagon the black.
finally the largest dragons of malys world, which are said by Skie to dwarf even the great red dragon vs Melkor's dragons as well

Raistlin time travel is worthless. The description of the spell clearly say it was created and used only for study, because a mage cannt change the past with that, so You cannt use it to win a battle you already lost or something alike.
Now, in other hand, Dragolance, Forgoten, etc (TSR worlds) are usually in material to use more abundant than LoTR. We have spells and creatures that LoTR have not (but the elfs of LoTR are much superior to those of Krynn and so are the dragons). When TSR mages and clerics can bring back people from death, teleport, wish, etc LoTR lack this, because their magic is much more a form o wisdow than pure spellcasting.
In other hands we have in Lotr a lot of godlike beings like Gandalf, Sauron and the first to create this and in TSR we have some kick-ass gods as well.
If LoTR is going to invade Krynn, before the cataclysm or after the War of the lance - when we really have in krynn a good number of powerful mortals and Lord Soth, then Krynn won. Now the invasion of Krynn over Middleearth then it would be hard. If was all forgotten doing that then i TSR beings would overpower their "fathers" in Middle earth.

That's most definitely not true. You CAN change stuff. Remember? Caramon and Tas went back in time and stopped Raistlin before he changed the world into a shattered husk.lgot wrote:Raistlin time travel is worthless.

Astinus said you couldn't, but he was wrong when Crysania entered the Trance. After that episode, Raistlin realized that you COULD change the future.
You must read it again. They only changed the past because of Tas. Read the spell "Only dwarves, Gnomes and kenders can do it because they are created outside the normal flow of time".That's most definitely not true. You CAN change stuff. Remember?

All the changes happened due Tas and the gnome influence.

But my point still stands. It IS capable of changing the future by modifying the past. Granted, Raistlin may not be able to do it alone, but we are talking about all of DL versus all of LotR.lgot wrote:

still useless. He have no control over the changes (or over a kender for that matter). The kender may change the past in a way that he would be defeated before being born.
The spell is only usefull for study, otherwise the past will repeat itself.

I agree that Raisltin does not have control over a Kender. However, he is a master of manipuation (he played Crysania like a piano), and I believe that he could manipulate the kender to do what he wants.
And I believe he is intelligent enough to figure out what changes to make.
That being said, even without Time Travel, Raistlin would be a handful for LotR. He is more than a match for Gandalf or Saruman, and I honestly believe that he could tear down the Valar as well. It's proven that he single handedly destroyed the DL pavilion of Gods; there's no reason why he couldn't repeat his success against LotR.

Like he did not with Tas. Right ? There was a point that the kender was manipulated by him, but ended doing something else, due his kender nature.I agree that Raisltin does not have control over a Kender.

He is not. He failed to predict it everytime. You notice that he even prefer to kill him and the gnome to avoid the interference, exactly because he could not control it ?And I believe he is intelligent enough to figure out what changes to make.
Not even Astinius could. Imagine Raistlin.
Well, I am just pointing that the time travel is a fail as weapon. He have others. He might be able to hand Gandalf for while and Saruman. But all the LoTR ? After all, like i said TSR mages have a different spell power than LoTR.That being said, even without Time Travel, Raistlin would be a handful for LotR.

I doubt he alone could do it. He would be the major part of all Krynn against Middleearth no doubt, but alone ?He cannt barelly survive a sneack in of dwarves, what to say Galladriel elfs ? Or Elrond ? Or Gandalf returning back like he did after the Balrong and his various allies ? Gandalf is more wise than Raistlin and would use such advantages.
The Valars ? You mean those who can change the world at will ? And act in group, unlike Krynn gods ? No chance.
Plus,. Its not proven because did not happened this way that he single handed killed Krynn pantheon. Actually, we only know that he alone defeated Paladine. That is all.

this is was supposed to be two questions
LOTR vserus pre-fifth age for the normal charcacters and how would the great dragons would fare vs the greatest of Melkor's dragons as they were gigantic.
the second part was how would these great wyerms would matchup to Middle-earth dragons, as the dragons of ME tend to be far larger them the average krynn dragon but that the typical krynn dragon was rather small.
would the great dragons pose a real danger to their counterparts in Middle-earth like Ancalagon the black, can he still defeat the great dragons of the fifth age.
