Feather Fall

The caster impedes his own or another person’s rate of descent when falling. This allows the target to avoid injury or death or to glide upon the breeze. Note that this spell can be cast instantaneously, out of initiative order, if the caster or a target within range is falling.
Save: Will to avoid

12 - 13	Caster reduces the speed at which he falls. With a successful Fortitude save (DC 10 +1 for each 10’ fallen), he takes no damage. On a failed save, he suffers only half damage.
14 - 17	Caster falls at a graceful rate of 50’ per round and takes no damage if he lands before the spell expires. Otherwise, he suffers half damage and is allowed a Fort save (DC 10 +1 for each 20’ fallen) to avoid all damage.

24 - 27	Caster gains the ability to glide on the air by leaping from a height 30’ or more above the ground. The caster soars on the breeze, drifting back to earth at a vertical rate of 10’ per round, arriving on the ground when he reaches the maximum distance he can glide. His movement rate is 60’ per round while gliding, and if he fails to reach solid ground before the spell expires, he falls and suffers normal damage upon impact.
28 - 29	Caster and up to three additional creatures can glide on the winds. They soar on the breeze, drifting back to earth at a vertical rate of 10’ per round, arriving on the ground when reaching the maximum distance they can glide. Their movement rate is 60’ per round while gliding, and if they fail to reach solid ground before the spell expires, they fall and suffer normal damage upon impact.
30 - 31	Caster and up to six additional creatures can glide on the winds. They soar on the breeze, drifting back to earth at a vertical rate of 10’ per round, arriving on the ground when reaching the maximum distance they can glide. Their movement rate is 60’ per round while gliding, and if they fail to reach solid ground before the spell expires, they fall and suffer normal damage upon impact.
32+	Caster can fall any distance regardless of height or duration of fall without taking damage. Additionally, the caster is immune to any related hazards, such as thin atmosphere, intense cold, or even high temperatures generated by re-entry into an atmosphere from a vacuum.
