Breakfast for Jaliera, Davroar and Bern was 1 silver. There were other expenses, like drinks and "tips" at the Wing and a Kiss, the place you stayed at in Triboar, if you went out drinking in Triboar, etc. I'll do the tally when I get a chance. This month will be busy.
BTW, that's a general statement. Until after April I am going to be slower. That happens every spring, just before the baseball season starts. I may go a couple of days without posting between now and then.
I used Passive Insight twice this week and since the threads are separate, I decided to share my notes to all of you in one place to explain how I use that.
Wouldn't my character known that?
Maybe.
When my wife and I meet people, she can tell, right away, what the person she meets is like. We might come home from a BBQ (when we did that sort of stuff) and she would say that she didn't trust this person or that or that another person is good as gold. Thing is, over the years, she's NEVER been wrong. She's got a +5 to her insight.
When I meet someone I can't make a decision as quickly as she does but I can tell when someone is being sarcastic, kidding or angry. I think I'm kind of baseline normal. Plus 0.
A kid I coached in Little League had Asbergers Syndrome; a functional form of autism. He had no ability to understand social queues at all so sarcasm, anger and jokes just never clicked. You had to speak to him in absolutes. He had a -5 to insight (and probably had roll with disadvantage!). Think Sheldon on the Big Bang Theory is a good example when he asks "was that sarcasm?". He just doesn't get it.
Passive Insight means that you didn't have to roll. You, the player, may not have insight, but if your character has a good wisdom, your character does. So, if there's a situation that you're getting wrong, your PC might not. So what's the difference between passive and active perception? Active insight would be when an interrogator is trying to determine if a suspect is lying or a gambler guessing that an opponent is bluffing. Passive insight is used when you can 'just tell' something about a situation.
I'll likely pull out my passive insight DM card when one of my posts is misinterpreted.
BTW, there's a Passive Perception too. That is where you notice something rather than search and find something. The latter is an example of Active Perception.
