[QUOTE="Tony Semana, post: 6366275, member: 6763088"] I generally agree with the simultaneous discovery. In this specific example, I think I would adjudicate it like this: - Because the PC's are in motion and the bugbear is stationary: are the PC's making an effort to move quietly? If yes, then I would check their last stealth roll vs. the bugbear's passive perception. If no, then I would set an easy DC check for the bugbear to hear the Party - if the bugbear loses they startle each other - if the bugbear wins the perceptions contest, then he gets to make a stealth roll (to hold perfectly still) against the PC's passive perceptions. The roll would either be at disadvantage or +5 to PC's PP to represent that he's unseen but not behind cover, they might walk right past the rocks without glancing back. - if the bugbear wins the contest, then he remains unseen. If he loses then the PC's see him [/QUOTE]
