"Passive" perception and sense motive sheet for GMs


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Hi all!

I've created a sheet for Game Masters who like to immerse their players further in the game, by not tipping them off with a request for Perception rolls or Sense Motive rolls.

HERE!

Ask your players if they'd like to 'take 10' by default on Perception and Sense Motive situations. If they do, you're done here. If not, have them roll 6 times for each and record the results, then as the GM you can roll a simple d6 to determine (secretly) if they found that hidden door, or noticed that trap, or felt intuitively that the in-disguise BBEG was lying to their face!

It's not for everyone, but it cuts down on everyone shouting "I search the room!" every single room, and I made it for myself so I thought I'd share it.


Nice work. Thanks!

Glad you like it, I've been going on a creative tear lately (since starting to run my first game) and I've been making all kinds of sheets and charts.

My next goal is multi-page index card (or playing card?) sized character sheets to save table real estate. I'm thinking one card/side for combat-important stuff, one for skills, etc.
