In that case I would probably have them roll vs passive stealth because it's more fun for the player."The 2 examples used in the PHB on why you would use passive checks are to represent a repeated task or for secrecy. I like to use them in opposed rolls so that a high roll from the player usually wins. It's not fun to roll an 18 only to be thwarted because the NPC rolled a 20. Similarly if you roll a 5 and still win it feels a little weird.I also use them in a group situation similar to the repeated task example so that many rolls don't trivilize the challenge. Perception vs Stealth is the most common example of this.</blockquote>
