I have a character who has a Sentinel Shield, which is equipped on my character sheet. This shield gives advantage to Wisdom (Perception) checks; according to the rules, advantage on a check should add a +5 bonus to the passive calculation for that skill. However, my character's passive perception is not being calculated using that formula. An I missing something here?
there is no actual rule that says that advantage on Perception is an automatic +5 on Passive Perception. That equivalence is reserved for the DM to be applied, in the hiding situation.

Hi filcat, I believe that Matthias and I are correct that advantage grants +5 to a passive score - he's already linked to the appropriate section of the PHB. Let me know if there's anything else you need from me to help resolve this bug.

All right, I tag this thread for the staff to see.
Just FYI, this is still broken. I know it's only been a few weeks, just adding a data point.
Yep, this has been affecting one of my characters since launch. Any idea when it will be fixed?
Fixed!
