Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lyxen" data-source="post: 8545159" data-attributes="member: 7032025">Prove to me, just give me ONE rule that says that when people do something distracting, they lose their passive perception. I'm waiting. And not that thing about "don’t contribute their passive Wisdom (<a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/compendium/rules/basic-rules/using-ability-scores#Perception" target="_blank">Perception</a>) scores to the group’s chance of noticing hidden threats", because this is very specific to the group and is clearly a pointer to group checks (since it mentions the contribution to the group).Show me where it says that a hidden creature does not match his stealth roll to that adventurer's passive perception. Show me where it says that, when combat start, any character is excluded from the surprise determination and is therefore mandatorily surprised.Once more, the lead designer has told you, SPECIFICALLY that "it's considered to be ALWAYS ON, unless you're under the effect of a condition like the unconscious condition that says you're not aware of your surroundings". Are you now going to pretend that any of the small activities that you can do when travelling renders you unconscious ? This is ridiculous, opce more the lead designers tells you about someone who is engrossed in a play, so much that you have a chance to walk right up to him (despite what the rules say about moving, hidden, towards a target), he is engrossed, but he still gets his passive perception.Finally, are you going to pretend, that this guy, watching a show, is travelling ? Come on...</blockquote>
