I dunno quite how some groups would handle a predestination paradox, but I'd love to set a situation up where one of them fears that he won't leave this time travel adventure alive because they found The Axe He Would Never Part With there, or where they lose a PC and have to abandon his body, but find his remains in the present and try to work out if any Clerics can raise him still.  :></blockquote>
