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.
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.
And I believe he is intelligent enough to figure out what changes to make.
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 ?
Not even Astinius could. Imagine Raistlin.
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.
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.
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.
