Re: Preferred Placement for Challenge Scrolls (+3)
In my opinion, challenges basically fall into two categories:
1) Solving the room, but harder. Don't use the alcove. Use one fewer mimic potion. That sort of thing. These, because they only affect the difficulty of the room, should be available immediately. Solving this challenge is original solution+
2) Solving the room in a convoluted way. Keep that goblin alive. Don't trap any roaches on force arrows. Etc. These, because it's the same room with an added twist, I think should be left behind a green door. Solving this challenge is alternate solution
If revealing what the challenge is would make the original solution irrelevant, definitely hide it. It's mostly a case-by-case thing, though, so use your best judgment.
And if I'm being entirely honest, I usually beat every room 3 or 4 times anyway to optimize it, so I don't mind not seeing the challenge right away. Other people might feel differently.
