Passive skills. To what extent should passive checks be used for skills. All skills? @ChrisPerkinsDnD @JeremyECrawford @mikemearls

@wastingx @ChrisPerkinsDnD @JeremyECrawford I tend to use them in low stress situations, and make extensive use of passive Perception checks

Passive checks are a tool for a DM (not players) to speed up play or keep a secret. Use them as you see fit. #DnD https://t.co/da0XQKNq9V

@JeremyECrawford So player can't declare, I walk around the room using my 20+ passive perception to find hidden object/door/trap/creature?

The design intent is that the DM uses passive checks. When players want to use an ability, they roll a d20. #DnD https://t.co/ZZZoeAG2GO
