Raistlin would win. He DID take out Takhisis and then Paladine after that. He was THE supreme being.

Thatis because the novel writer said so. If he knew anything of the rules of dungeon and dragons, he would know it is impossible, how many time in D&D novels will you see impossible things happenings, they could never happen, but the novel writer decided to still put them, because they are cool. As an example, take Drizzt killing that demon who jumped on him, because he impaled himself on his frost scimitar. This would NEVER kill the demon. In those novels we can see everything, from apprentice casting anything from 5 magic missile at the same time (you would need to be like level 20 to do that) to fireballs and more. You can see mage casting an infinite number of spells when it is convenient, You can see some nameless bard kill a god on his plane, ... the list goes on for a long time.
That is one of the aspect I don't like about the D&D novels. They never follow any rules, the writer always do anything they feel like too without any regards about the world that has been build before them. To me it is like if you ask one of your friend to Dungeon Master your 3 years game for a night because you are out of town, and when you come back he killed 3 of your major NPCs, cripled 2 pc, destroyed a country and gave the last healty pc the power to kill anything at will. When you get the honor of contributing to such a complex world as D&D, you have the duty to respect what has been done before you, and to pay attention to details.

Actually, Takhisis is an aspect of the deity better known in the multiverse as Tiamat, the Queen of Evil Dragons. As an intermediate deity, Tiamat has the ability to have multiple aspects on different worlds.
In addition to being the evil goddess Takhisis on Krynn, Tiamat also has a small but growing following in the southern lands of Faerun (Chessenta, Unther and the lands south of the Inner Sea). Her primary role, however, is as the five-headed Chromatic Dragon who guards the entrance to Dis, the second layer of Hell, from intrusions both celestial and abyssal. Her lair is on Avernus, first layer of Hell.
