{{Quote skill|{{PAGENAME}}}}

==Proficiency==
Characters who are '''proficient''' in {{PAGENAME}} can add their [[Proficiency Bonus]] when making {{Ability Check}}s.

The following classes can choose to select '''{{PAGENAME}}''' as a proficient skill at Level 1:
* {{Class|Barbarian}}
* {{Class|Bard}}
* {{Class|Druid}}
* {{Class|Fighter}}
* {{Class|Ranger}}
* {{Class|Rogue}}

The following [[races]] are proficient in '''{{PAGENAME}}''':
* {{Race|Elf}}
* {{Race|Drow}}

==Uses==
* Used to detect hidden containers, mechanisms and [[Traps]].
** Characters with the {{SAI|Dungeon Delver: Perception|Dungeon Delver}} [[Feats#Dungeon_Delver|Feat]] have {{Advantage}} on these checks.
* Used to spot hiding creatures.

=== Passive Perception ===
'''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 [[Shove#Roll|avoid being shoved]]), passive Perception value is given by:
<div class="center">
{{InfoBlob|10 + [[Wisdom]] modifier + [[proficiency bonus]] (if proficient) + other bonuses}}.
</div>
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 [[Hide|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, [[owlbear]]s have a +5 bonus and [[worg]]s have a +4 bonus. Since skills are not shown when inspecting an enemy, this information is not readily available in game.
