We develop a framework to study the phase space of a system consisting of a scalar field rolling down an arbitrary potential with a varying slope and a background fluid, in a cosmological setting. We give analytical approximate solutions of the field evolution, and discuss applications of its features to the issues of quintessence, moduli stabilization, and quintessential inflation.
