As rule of thumb, do the PCs automatically "Take 10" when the DM needs a Listen or Spot check? The corollary would be that they only roll dice when actively "listening" or "spotting" (full-round action).
Imagine the PCs are walking through town, casually, not expecting anyone to be sneaking up on them. Would it be a roll or a "take 10"?
Imagine the PCs are walking through a dungeon and are probably more alert. Would it be a roll or a "take 10"?
I have always called for a roll in both cases, but I have seen it done with the "take 10" approach.
