[/list=1] Think about it.  A 30' spiked pit trap deals 6d6 damage already and is about CR 4.  All pit traps have a save DC of 20, which at low level is even dangerous to a Rogue. Pits and falling are quite lethal at low level, and shouldn't be more lethal than they are.  Death from massive damage rules will make anyone but a high-level Fighter-type balk at dropping 100 feet.  Not to mention that going down is so much faster than coming back up. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Besides, you'll make reverse gravity, telekinesis and teleport even more powerful than they already are.</li> </ol></blockquote>
