You ought to be ashamed, Lou!

Cool pic, Ryan! I especially like the axe. I think you should append that image to your RG post, WD!

Done

I was mostly kidding, WD, I like the picture that you already had there.

Now I have both pics: Cute and angry Tarrk

"Cute" Tarrk -- now THAT idea is going to take some getting used to!

Re: Passive vs. Active perception:

Here's my take on it (and what I do for my games):

Your passive sets the floor for the roll, as if the 10 was high enough to catch something (and it's always "on"), then you would pick it up before you even needed to make an active check. However if it isn't enough and you make an active roll, unless you score above a 10 on the die, there is no change. That's how I run my games, but it's not spelled out in the rules that way.

You know, I rolled all the way around that in my head and the best I could come up with was adding 10 to whatever you roll - which definitely didn't make sense.

Not sure why I didn't come to your solution . . .

 

[Walking Dad]

I'm with r1 on this...

and now back to the adventure. Has anyone a clever idea before Tarrk can kick the door in?

 

[renau1g]

Nope. Khellek all for kicking the door in

Thank you! We'll work it that way. So if you need 10 or less to notice something, all you have to do is look in the right direction! hehe Of course, if you spend all your free time picking your nose, like Aimhirghin, you might forget to look in the right direction.

Careful you don't get splinters in your hoof!
