Thank you Kujo for reminding me about how I like to normally use perception.<br/><br/>As it is one of the most important skills in the game it's good this came up.<br/><br/>Usually if I want a perception check I will tell the party to give me perception checks for the following.<br/><br/>1) If I want them to notice something<br/>2) They are being potentially snuck up on<br/>3) They're looking for something specific<br/><br/>Otherwise the passive perception in the header we asked for is good enough.<br/><br/>I'll be rounding the House Rules and header to put on the first page here in a moment.
