How do you get the highest passive perception?

To get a higher passive perception, for your Human Variant feat take Observant, which gives +5 passive.

Does expertise add to passive perception?

2 Answers. Yes, Expertise affects passive Perception checks. Here’s how to determine a character’s total for a passive check: If you have Expertise in Perception, the +4 is doubled, so you’re correct in judging that your passive Perception score will be 21.

Does advantage on perception affect passive?

Items like Eyes of the Eagle grant advantage to perception checks, which should add +5 to passive perception. This is not reflected on the character sheet when wielded/used/attuned. The bonus from that magic item only applies to perception checks related to sight, but not to other senses.

Do you add proficiency bonus to passive perception?

The Rulebook says that a passive wisdom (percep) score is “10 + the creature’s wisdom modifier, as well as any bonuses.” In the example they have a 1st-level character (with a proficiency bonus of +2) Wisdom of 15 (+2) and a proficiency in Perception, he or she has a passive Wisdom (Perception) of 14 (10+2+2).

Is perception a free action?

No, a Perception check falls under the Search Action which counts as an Action. It’s in the PHB under Actions. Whereas passive Perception works instantly, a Perception check is always a moment where a creature takes the time to focus on something that is partially concealed and easier to miss if unsearched.
