When does Contingency go off?

The way we rule it is that contingency takes 20 on all of the caster's skills, even if the caster is prone, unconcious, asleep, or whatever.

So, if the thing that would activate the trigger *could* be seen or heard by the wizard as if he rolled a 20 on his check, then it would activate.

I like it. That's a very nice rule.

That is a truly excellent way to handle it.
Makes it useful without making it omnicient.
