 It's an often missed rule that all dungeon doors are quite large, difficult for PCs to open, and easy for the dungeon's denizens to open.((It's important to read all the dungeon door rules, which are found on DMG 97.)) All dungeon doors MUST be rolled for in order to open. Up to 3 characters can try to open a standard 8' wide door in one check -- each character rolls separately. It's an often missed rule that all dungeon doors are quite large, difficult for PCs to open, and easy for the dungeon's denizens to open.((It's important to read all the dungeon door rules, which are found on DMG 97.))
