should i roll to gather information for lodgings (i assume no)
no need unless you’re trying for something like “find people willing to host you”, I was holding off on replying for a bit since there’s an ongoing slightly-earlier conversation

He is passively reading this person as ‘very curious and aware of people, but unclear why she’s like this’
he then sees how she acts around the question and determines that ‘she’s probably not trying to do such things for intentions that harm the group’
wow. she just saw the group and started to compare the differences in the lowest wealth in the party (Canary) to the greatest (zelsh). the classism really hurts.

general PSA: after seeing the Perception rules play out in practice, I am adjusting them a bit, primarily w.r.t. how they interact with distance but also to clarify how they interact with ‘spotting people who are not hiding at all, if they are at a distance’. These are modified from someone else’s houserules, so they’re not totally untested, but if they start Causing Problems we can go back to the old rules.
Visual Perception:
Spotting a person at 40 Feet: Stealth Result
Spotting a person at 40 Feet who isn’t stealthing at all: Stealth result if they somehow rolled a 0 on their d20
Doubling or halving the distance: + 4 or -4 (Noticing someone in melee is a DC: -12+Stealth)
Moving down or up a size category: +4 or -4
Looking through a Keyhole: +10 to Stealth Result
Noticing someone invisible or with total cover: +20 to Stealth Result
Noticing someone while you are asleep: -10 to Perception Check (this is equivalent to them getting a +10 on their Stealth check)
Noticing someone while you are distracted: -5 to Perception Check
ACP: Applies as usual
Sniping: Still -20 to stealthAuditory Perception:
Hearing People talking at a normal volume from 40 feet away: DC 11 (60 Decibels)
Doubling or halving the distance: + 4 or -4
Volume: +/- 2/3 per decibel change
Silence: Silence applies +20 to DC for Auditory Perception and a +2 bonus to flat ‘visual’ perception

the big change here is that rather than the Stealth result setting the Perception DC to spot someone who is 0 feet away, with DC increasing at +1 per 10 feet, it is now the DC to spot someone who is 40 feet away, with DC increasing by +4 if the distance doubles and decreasing by -4 if the distance is halved

[and then obviously various other factors might affect this, like “it’s night” or “it’s pouring rain” or “they are on the other side of a solid wall such that you literally have no way to see them”]
