I'm helping construct a dungeon for my friend, and I was wondering if you guys could help.
Characters are levels 7-13, but there's a pretty optimized ranged fighter/arcane archer (due to his magic items and damage output vs. the rest of us) and certain players that like to build pretty optimized characters.

It's meant to be quite a hard dungeon, sorry for the lack of a map, if anyone could show me to some good free mapping software, I could do up something for you guys.

So far looks pretty good (indepth).

As far as mapping: graph paper and a digital camera... or the ubiquitous maptools http://rptools.net/ but that has a little more than just mapping.

If one of those is a full caster and level 10 or so, your dungeon is already dead.

If you totally want to ruin your players' collective day, I suggest the following monsters:


Will-o-wisps
Clay golems
Black Puddings
Giant Squids
War trolls


More seriously, try to combine traps and monster encounters in the same room, especially if the monster can bypass the traps but the players cannot.

A good example would be a red dragon and a lava trap.

Fortunately, there's antimagic fields in certain places, and the party is unaware of the bull**** wizards can put out. xD
And I have a few rooms like that, a trap that causes the ceiling to cave in, separating the party while a wraith take on each side individually, and a room with lots of pit traps in it with a flying monster/monsters with earth glide. xD

And in addition: There's a chance for multiple encounters per day, which will force the casters to spread out their spell use, thus diminishing their power.
