Description

Current Version : 1.2 now released to LIVE CHANNEL.

Passive Floor : This extention applys a Player Characters "Passive" score to be the lowest possible role that player can actively make.
meaning : if a player has a Passive Perception of 13, then any "Perception" roll that results in a 12 or lower will be reset to 13


The Passive score is 10 + attribute mod + Prof (if you have it in that skill) + Observant feat

You can also think of it as "Talking 10", to borrow a term from previous D&D editions.

why? : this is based on the idea that your worst "i try to see" roll shouldn't be any worse then your "just walking by and not even trying" score.
here is a write up, that includes an interview with Jeremy Crawford: https://thinkdm.org/2018/12/22/passive-skills/ (skip to the "Always On" section.


Currently :

  • Must be a Player Character in the Combat Tracker
  • only applies to Perception, Investigation, and Insight checks (can be turned on/off in Settings)
  • automatilcy takes into account the Observant feat.
  • Adds +5 to the Floor if the player had ADV and -5 if the playter had DIS



The following improvements are being considered:

  • scan for any Effects that modiify the skill check
  • make this work for NPC's (must have the skill listed on npc's Skills line)
  • expand the list of Skills that the Floor applies to.
