I don't want to argue.  I've already made the post.  We're on a forum, some things need to adapt.  We'd know five minutes into a regular game if the DM is going to prompt people or if we have to state that we're using a Passive skill.  You're basically making the Observant feat I chose at character creation worth a lot less than it should be.<br/><br/>Honestly, you didn't even describe what we were walking into until after I made my post.
