[QUOTE="ren1999, post: 6347598, member: 85179"] Let me explain the mechanics and see if you all agree with my interpretation. A DM notes 2 players with a wisdom modifier of +2 and a wisdom modifier of -1. He writes; Player 1 Passive Perception 10+2=12. Player 1 has the Perception skill so that is wis mod+2+proficiency bonus for 1st level+2=wis(Perception)+4 Player 2 Passive Perception 10-1=9 Player 1 says she is actively looking for attackers. The DM has her roll a wis(Perception) check 1d20+4=12+4=16 The DM then rolls a dex(Stealth) check of 1d20+3=15+3=18. So Player 1 does not perceive the assassin sneaking up on Player 2. After, no player says they are actively looking. The DM secretly rolls a dex(Stealth) check of 1d20+3=12+3=15. He compares the 15 to the passive perceptions of 12 and 9. Both players are surprised. In what other situations would we use Perception, with examples? [/QUOTE]
