[QUOTE="Doc_Klueless, post: 7424768, member: 261"] The first part of Lost Mines of Phandelver, Goblin Arrows, states with the following it two places: [I]If the characters are searching for traps, the character in the lead spots the trap automatically if his or her passive Wisdom (Perception) score is 12 or higher. Otherwise, the character must succeed on a DC 12 Wisdom (Perception) check to notice the trap. The character in the lead spots the hidden pit automatically if his or her passive Wisdom (Perception) score is 15 or higher. Otherwise, the character must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check to spot the hidden pit.[/I] So, using the starter set as an example, PP does find traps if the PP matches or exceeds the DC of the Wisdom (Perception) check to spot it. If the character has disadvantage on sight (which seems to be the natural thing to use to "spot" something), their PP drops by 5 making it more likely that they walk by or into the trap before seeing it.
