1/4 " per Foot minimum. At least this is what I get out of "Code Check", ISBN # 1-56158-409-6. There is a lot to Plumbing on how pipes are sized, vented and connected. This book is worth getting-I found it on E-bay for less than $10.00.

One quarter inch per foot is standard "slope". This equates to a quarter bubble on a level. If you don't have at least one eighth of an inch "slope", your drain will not work properly and will clog constantly.

Can you have too much slope on a toilet drain line?

No. If you think about it, upstairs toilets actually drain through the walls and down under the foundation and footings, so you would have a 100% slope there. You can have too little slope, but never too much, since gravity is actually what drains a toilet. Yes you can. Pipes that run vertical are not a problem because friction is not acting on either the solid or the liquid matter. Where a pipe is sloping steeply the water can run away leaving solid matter behind.
