"We have to go back! Back... to the future!" [Prestige Class]

Possibly so. But if so, where's the fun in that? Aside from enabling sports fans to actually see how Mark McGwire would stack up to Babe Ruth. Or how your PC would stack up against one of the heroes of the golden age from early in the campaign's history. To my mind, the fun of time travel lies primarily in the peril of time paradoxes.

Well, you can go back in time, do whatever you feel like doing (beat the crap out of your boss, for instance), then return to the present with no reprecussions. Or you can "re-do" a failed mission to practice different methods of performing it (you'll have to kill your past selves, of course, but none of it really matters).

I'm trying to think of a way to make money out of this class. Ultimate Chronological Manipulation simply doesn't send you far back enough to cheat at the lottery, seeing as they take at least half a minute to pick up all the numbers.

Gambling. Particularly fast-moving games like roulette. "I put it all on red." "Oh! It came up Black 14!" *Ultimate Chronological Manipulation!* "I put it all on Black 14."

Heck, the once-per-week thing actually makes this more fun: Imagine some random stranger waltzing into your casino, placing $50,000 on Black 14, winning, then immediately cashing his chips in and walking out nonchalantly.

If everything is re-rolled when you go back in time, enabling your friend to re-roll his Ref save, presumably re-rolling includes the outcome of the lottery.

No, only things you affect are rerolled, like the power Time Regression (which this ability basically is, except more powerful and with no XP cost).
