So in creating a homebrew feat that gives a +5 bonus to passive perception, I saw something that didn’t make sense. I made a level 5 inquisitive rogue with a 19 in wisdom and expertise in perception. When looking at the perception modifier, it was +10 as expected. But when I looked at the passive perception, it was only 17. This is if it was just including regular perception proficiency, and without the feat. Is dndbeyond perception just broken? Any help would be appreciated.
The Observant feat adds +5 to passive Perception, and it works fine for my character who has it. Try making a copy of that feat to make into your homebrew (the Observant feat itself is good if you just need the +5 to passive and aren't trying to figure out how the homebrew system works.)
Edit: On re-read, the feat wasn't the problem then, but something else? Hrm. All I can say is, my Rogue also has Expertise in Perception, and her skill & passive are the correct values with & without Observant, so they'd definitely need to see your character sheet to know what's going on.
