Ok, definetely open to suggestions for this strangosity that came to mind the other day. I don't think I've missed any odd loopholes (), but dunno.

Wall of Pits Psychoportation Level: Psion/wilder 3 Display: Visible Manifesting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Effect: Wall whose area is up to one 5-ft. square/level and 20 feet deep. Duration: 1 min./level (D) Saving Throw: Reflex negates Power Resistance: No Power Points: 3
You warp space, creating a collection of vertical, two-way extradimensional pits of all sizes. Though this wall appears to be incredibly wide when viewed from its sides, it takes up no actual space. Those that enter an adjacent square to these pits must succeed on their saving throw or slide down into these pits as gravity is altered with the wall as 'down'. Those that fail their save fall directly into a pit, taking 1d6 falling damage per 10 feet fallen. They land and are thrown ten feet from where they began. If an obstruction keeps the victim from landing they must make another save or fall through a second time the succeeding round.
Standard rules for falling apply, such as using a tumble check to negate (see DMG p. 303). Creatures capable of flying are not affected by a wall of pits. Creatures that occupy the adjacent squares through which an object or target fall, take damage from the fallen.
Attempting to use thrown or ranged weapons through these pits is possible, though one must add the depth of the pit to the range of the shot.
The spatial stresses involved prohibit a wall of pits to be manifested within 20 feet of another.
Augment: For every additional power point you spend, the pit's 'depth' increases by 10 feet.

In case of obstruction do you end up going back the way you came on the next round?
I assume for flying creatures the depth of the pit would count against their movement but not cause damage (at least not for manuverable enough creatures, what are the rules for pulling out of a sudden dive anyway???).
Also I would have creatures skid like a motercyclist going over the handlebars... unless I am not understanding how the space is bent correctly...

Yup.

I'd just think they could fly and not have to worry about it.
Just... gravity changing directions... seemed like they would find themselves headed straight 'down', and then the reverse happening when they left. Even if they cancel out that has got to call for a Dex check or something, especially the first time you experience it.
From the looks of it, it does extra damage on top of normal falling damage. Neat. *Fwumph!* I'm still not clear what "Though this wall appears to be incredibly wide when viewed from its sides" means. Appears to be incredibly wide? As in... a chasm?

Heh, great idea. Though I wonder about the side-effects of this power. Can it be used to propel any objects, as they fall through and gain velocity (and so an increase in damage/range/attack bonus of normal ranged weapons)? Or can you damage a person by 'falling' on him via this pit?
Combat Control (nobody wants to go near it, unless they're flying or essentially immune to falling)
Continuing Damage (if you stay in the area)
Scales with level (extra d6 for each power point put into it).
Lasts minutes/level.
Compare to Wall of Fire (Sor/Wiz 4), which has a duration of Concentration + 1 round/level, 2d4 to people nearby, 1d4 to people less nearby, and 2d6+1/level to anything going through it.
This spell is significantly better than Wall of Fire in most ways.
