Editing Encounters (section)

== Puzzle ==
Puzzles are encounters where players have to figure out how to pass an obstacle to get to a goal. Puzzles can be combined with other types of encounters.

=== Locked Door ===
A locked door blocks the player's way. The goal of a locked door is to challenge players to think creatively, solve a puzzle, or search their surroundings. 

To open the door the players must:
*Speak the password
**Clues to the password are important. Provide clues on the door or in the room to provide the context. Skill checks may be utilized to help the players. 
***The password may be given to them in advance, either clearly or cryptically (Rhymes work well).
***If this door is located in a dungeon it may be worthwhile providing the players with the password (or a cryptic message containing the password) at the start of the dungeon while they are still unaware of the door's existence. 
*Find the key. 
**The to the door must be found and inserted into the lock before the door opens. It may be hidden around the room, the dungeon, or exist somewhere else entirely. 
***For additional challenge place the door inside a room that is in itself a puzzle, a combat encounter, or both.
