It also incentives movement through the dungeon, not necessarily engaging with the environment which is really what one wants. To that end, I prefer to reward exploration with treasure, generally speaking e.g. hidden caches or other rewards. Players will poke around a lot more if they know that's where the gold and magic items are.I also sometimes offer payment in gold if the PCs map the dungeon and then sell their source map. Essentially they engage in a task of drawing a map while moving through the dungeon at the risk of being automatically surprised (since they aren't keeping watch for dangers). They also must have the cartographer's tools proficiency, the appropriate supplies, and both hands free (no shield, weapon, etc.).</blockquote>
