[QUOTE="pming, post: 7513890, member: 45197"] Hiya! Ahh...the old "Perception" bugaboo! ;) My Rules: Perception lets you say "Hey guys! Right next to that book case is a secret door!" Investigation lets you say "...and if you push in the Blue Book and pull out the Red Book, it will open". In short, "Perception" is to notice something...but not necessarily understand the significance or reason. Passive is just that...you're doing something else when "something" occurs; maybe you will notice, maybe you won't, it's all up to your Passive Perception. For example, ever watch those videos/TV shows that talk about human perception of their surroundings? Where they have a guy performing a magic trick on the street corner? And at the end of the video they ask "So did you notice the guy in the pink panda suit walk by?"...<-- that would be Passive Perception (apparently I have a very high Passive Perception... :) ). Active Perception is when you know you are looking for something, but not sure what, when or where. "Here is a guy doing a magic trick. Keep an eye out for the pink panda...". Maybe the pink panda isn't a guy in a suit...maybe it's a logo on a childs backpack, or a type of soft drink with a pink panda on it, or maybe it's the words "Pink Panda" that flash on a billboard in the back ground. You either notice it or you don't...but you are "keeping your eye out" for anything that could be considered a "pink panda". Investigation is when you've already found the secret door location and now you have to figure out how it opens. Or you've been told there is an easter egg hidden in this 30'x50' banquette hall and you have to find it. ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
