3) Magical Challenges: Allow magic users some spotlight
4) Divine Challenge: Allow healers some spotlight
5) Puzzle or Trap: Include a brainteaser or two
6) Roleplaying Encounters: Use this to impart additional information about the quest
7) Easy Encounter: Mass combat or cake walk encounters against significantly weaker foes. Burn through consumables and make the players feel a sense of pride
8) Safezone: Allow players a safe protected area to rest and recover some much needed resources.
9) Improbable Combat: An encounter that is highly unlikely to survive, isolated players would stumble inadvertently into this area. Encounter should be 2-3 Difficulty Ratings above recommended, while possible to be resolved it adds a real threat of a Total Party Wipe-out.
