 === 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]].
+'''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 applied against [[Stealth]] checks: when a [[Hide|hidden]] creature enters another creature's line of sight, the hidden creature rolls a [[Stealth]] check against a [[Difficulty Class]] (DC) equal to the opposing creature's Passive Perception.
+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.
-A creature's Passive Perception value is determined by this formula:
+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.
- Passive Perception = 10 + [[Wisdom]] Modifier + [[Proficiency Bonus]] (if Proficient in Perception)
