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.

A creature's Passive Perception value is determined by this formula:

Passive Perception = 10 + Wisdom Modifier + Proficiency Bonus (if Proficient in Perception)
