I'm a newbie DM and I've never made custom traps before. I've got some ideas but I don't know how to make them. I've got one trap that's going to be in a 5 ft. corridor. There's going to be a tile that activates the trap. They're in an Earth temple so the door leading to the trap is going to close when it's activated and sand is going to pour out of a slit in the wall and start moving fast. The door leading to the trap will be on the side of the room and the danger of the trap is that the wall that looks like it's there, isn't there. If they get caught in the trap, they'll get carried along through that "wall" and fall into a pit. I want to allow them a reflex save or something when they're about to fall so that they can grab onto the ledge to save themselves. That way when someone deactivates the trap (a lever at the end of the hallway), they can climb back up. How would I make this trap?
