[QUOTE="daviddalbec, post: 7513569, member: 6842418"] First thing that comes to mind is that the same can be done with other checks, maybe any. Passive checks are "A passive check is a special kind of ability check that doesn’t involve any die rolls. Such a check can represent the average result for a task done repeatedly, such as searching for secret doors over and over again, or can be used when the GM wants to secretly determine whether the characters succeed at something without rolling dice, such as noticing a hidden monster." So you could imagine passive stealth, or persuasion, not just perception, under the right circumstances. The buddy wingmaning you at the bar with help actions to your repeated persuade attempts would give you 15+mods flat. But conditions might sufficiently change where a different approach might be needed with some particular girl. Maybe this is similar with perception checks, some rooms have fireplaces, some have desks, some chests, etc. Maybe there's a level of variety that a methodical approach couldn't handle.
