Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Shaman" data-source="post: 5512520" data-attributes="member: 26473">In my megadungeon daydreaming I dealt with this as well.The dungeon is a necropolis for interring the sorcerer-priests of a long-destroyed city-state. The upper levels represent the nascent city-state, shortly after the first sorcerer-priest took control. As they grew in power, the necropolis was dug deeper, and those interred there were more powerful, and more evil, so the monster level of undead and tomb guardians, the complexity of traps, the incidence of magical traps, and so on increase the deeper the adventurers explore.By the time the adventurers reach the lowest levels, they are dealing with the tombs of magical rulers of a powerful empire.So 'deeper is harder' is consistent with the backstory of the megadungeon.</blockquote>
