Problems with Skills Checks

[greglahmer]

This is probably a stupid question, but I have Foundryvtt v13 and d&d5e. I have tried using the @skills.prc.total for the peeking formula, but it does not roll perception for my characters to be able to try and peek a lock (I also set the DC to 10). Is there a setting or settings I am missing to be able to do this? Also, is there a way to have the token be forced to roll a stealth check when peeking/slightly opening the door? I do have the stealthy mod active as well.

Also, I had major conflicts when I installed Vision 5e and tried using this.

To use skills you will have to give the path starting with @actor, so in your case the formula would be @actor.system.skills.prc.total.
There is no direct way of triggering a check when a lock peeked, though you use monks active tile triggers to trigger a check when a door is opened.

How do the conflicts look exactly? Have you actived the perceptive setting "Activate Spot Invisible feature", that might explain it.

I did not have active spot invisible feature enabled for the Vision 5e, but I am also using a lot of modules at once, so it could be a mishmash of issues. When I would click on a character that had configured darkvision for 60 ft. The character wouldn't be able to see past a light source and the fog of war would not be removed while the token moved through it. For the formula, I have added that flag, which just uses the player's modifier and does not roll anything for the peek. (Basically, I wanted it to roll a perception check for the character and subtract two due to the size of the keyhole. But currently it just uses the flat rate for the player's perception modifier.)

For the formula, in this case the following should probably work fo you: 1d20 + @actor.system.skills.prc.total - 2

Ok thank you. Sorry I'm knew to foundry and thought it would be more complicated.
