A Vital Issue

If you're a 3rd edition-style PC, you get to make a Swim check. If you fail, you take 20d6 damage. If you succeed, you take half damage and Swim out of the lava.

Don't forget about massive damage. If you take 50 points or more of damage, you have to make a DC 15 Fortitude save or die regardless of hit points.

First you must calculate falling damage for the force of you hitting the lava, which is based on the sum total mass of your character and whatever it is carrying multiplied by the gravitational acceleration of your game's planet (taking minute adjustments into account for gravity's weakening as altitude increases). Refer to a logarithmic damage table to determine how many d7 dice to roll.

You missed the step for comparative hardness of landing surface.
