Perception: Difference between revisions
(→Uses: Added mention of the Dungeon Delver feat granting Advantage for detecting hidden objects. Not sure if this is the right section, but since it is neither an item nor a spell it would obviously not fit in other sections as well. Feel free to move it to a more appropriate section if needed.) |
(Rewrote passive perception section to include the fact that advantage and disadvantage affect it) |

“Observe your environment. Spot hidden details.„
Proficiency[edit | edit source]
Characters who are proficient in Perception can add their Proficiency Bonus when making 
Ability checks.
The following classes can choose to select Perception as a proficient skill at Level 1:
The following races are proficient in Perception:
Uses[edit | edit source]
- Used to detect hidden containers, mechanisms and Traps.
- Used to spot hiding creatures.
Passive Perception[edit | edit source]
Passive Perception is a special form of Perception that allows a creature to detect things in its line of sight without rolling a Skill Check. As with other passive skill checks (for example an Acrobatics check to avoid being shoved), passive Perception value is given by:
10 + Wisdom modifier + proficiency bonus (if proficient) + other bonuses.
Since passive Perception does not involve a d20 roll, 
Advantage on Wisdom or Perception skill checks instead adds a flat +5 to the value. Similarly, 
Disadvantage subtracts 5 from this score.
Passive Perception is most commonly used when sneaking. A hidden creature must make Stealth checks to avoid being detected when entering the cone of vision of another creature and every subsequent round (or 6 seconds) while remaining there. The Difficulty Class (DC) of these checks are equal to the opposing creature's passive Perception.
Many creatures have unlisted flat bonuses to their perception. For example, owlbears have a +5 bonus and worgs have a +4 bonus. Since skills are not shown when inspecting an enemy, this information is not readily available in game.
