This is becauase dying doesn't actually mean you're dead and, in most cases, a mortal soul transforms into a more powerful soul that gets everything it ever wanted under a god of its choice. In reality, most adventurers in the multiverse should be the dead, who are fully self-actualized in the direct presence of their god and have more power and knowledge then they ever did in their moral life. Wizards most of all should become these hyper-competent Indiana Jones-style adventurers since now they have an entire afterlife to learn every spell ever and get to 20th level (and beyond, since they're like an arcane angel or some naughty word now).And if the above is possible, then what hope does a Prime Material Plane have? There are more people that have died then that have lived; there should be armies of 20th level Planescape Afterlife souls with anywhere from decades to literally billions of years worth of knowledge per soul. The afterlife would essentially conquer the Prime Material Plane. Yet, instead, everyone stays in freakin' Elysium or something singing and dancing and completely ignoring the extremely powerful position they've just been put in.</blockquote>
