Wall of China . . . for free?

Since it's not specified, there's really no reason to assume that rather than ruling the opposite, which to me seems the more likely choice for a GM, since that makes the ability not so abusable.

Column often implies a cylindrical or rounded shape that taper as they rise; all of the descriptions in the wikipedia article on columns mention cylinders. It also implies a single rising object with space around it, not a bunch of solid blocks

As a 5-10' wall, the great wall of china this is not (which ranges from 5-8 meters high, 16.4 to 26.2 feet).

You can make .9 miles of it at 25' tall per day. Of course, this is only 5' thick. The real wall is actually about 16' thick. If made your wall 15' thick, then you could put out .3 miles of it per day. The wall is about 3,950 miles long. One person could build it in slightly under 36 years. Not bad, considering how long it took the chinese to make it.

I'd say that you'd have to make a balance check, though the class may get some bonus or ability that handles that.

certainly if you did it under someone else they'd have a hard time keeping thier balance.

Don't forget Dwarves stabilty bonus.
