I really like passive perception for automatically detecting hidden things at any time, but if someone wants to take the search action during combat or is actively searching at any other time, I think rolling is appropriate. I could also see using passive investigation in a situation where a search is covering a large area and so is being done repetitively. By extension, a passive score could be used in any situation where something is being done over and over again, to summarize the action and speed things up. Passive survival could be used, for example, to see how successful a PC was in locating enough of a certain herb in a day's foraging to make a healing potion. Passive sleight of hand could be used to see if a thief can raise a certain amount of cash from a crowd of people without getting caught. There are lots of possibilities, but I'd limit it to this type of use. I wouldn't want to use it to resolve one-time tasks that may have a dramatic outcome. It's more fun to roll.</p></blockquote><p></p>
