In Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition, passive scores are affected by advantage and disadvantage. Whenever a player would have advantage on an Intelligence (Investigation), Wisdom (Insight) or Wisdom (Perception) check, their corresponding passive score is increased by +5. The opposite is true whenever a player has disadvantage on one of those checks. This can be seen with Sentinel Shield, which when equipped does increase your passive Wisdom (Perception) by +5. The new Pallid Elves' Incisive Sense has a similar effect, but for Intelligence (Investigation) and Wisdom (Insight) checks, but it does not show this on a sheets passive scores. For consistency sake, I wanted to bring this up. Thank you for taking the time to read this!
I would like to continue this. Right now I have an pallid elf character that has +6 to insight and +6 to investigation (and advantage to both) but her passive score for insight is only 16 while investigation is 21
This issue has still not been resolved. To reiterate, whereas Investigation and Perception both work correctly with advantage for their Passive Scores, Insight does not add the +5 it would get from Pallid Elves' Incisive Sense.

Thank you! I'll raise this with the content team.
No problem! Hope you have a good day!

Same issue. Manually overrode passive insight score but that won't help when insight or proficiency increases.

Hi, this is still an issue as I’ve made a Pallid Elf today with the same problem.
Still an issue. lvl 3 Pallid elf; Wisdom=17; Intelligence=10; expertise insight; proficient investigation...
Passive insight=17
Passive investigation=17
Is this still being looked at?
Still an issue where passive investigation is correct, but not the passive insight
Yep, this is still an issue. Guess they just gave up or something?
Insert interesting signature here.

Hello, we're nearly 1.5 years later here... Is this mechanic going to be fixed?
Issue still not resolved regarding the Insight not showing the increase in the bonus on passive.
Still doesn't work, also doesn't for the Rune Knight Fighter feature granting advantage on Insight aswell
