On the other hand a skill like search could be passive to represent a person who is always trying to be aware of their surroundings (such as a spy or fugitive). One way to handle it would be to have the player roll at the beginning of the game and use that total as his "walking" total. Anytime a search roll might be beneficial to the character, the GM uses that result and secretly compares it to the incidental difficulty. |
Prob is, as someone who has had to get training on 'staying alert' you eventually get skittish at everything, OR wear out quicker than normal.. So IF i was to see search being that way, there WOULD be a time limit to it, and you either stop when you reach it, or start racking up stamina (willpower??) rolls or burn your self out (no searching period for X hrs)..
Flub one of those rolls, and become paranoid for X days..
