I hope I didn't get it across as an attempt to insult as that wasn't my intent.
Not at all!
Its just looking at it from a mechanical point of view - in the sense of 'Is it worth putting time and effort in making this feature to give the players a different experience. As mentioned you have 4 rolls + all companions in camp - making it quite a high chance of success to begin with
This is a fair point, and perhaps it’s not worth the opportunity cost of doing anything at all complicated (though I’d think just resetting checks on long rest would be pretty cheap and easy). Though some of my parties do fail a reasonable percentage of perception checks as it stands, partly because I don’t usually do things like cast guidance when my first character fails a perception check (though I might for an arcana or other check that the party might reasonably know was being made). And I wouldn’t bring companions from camp just to try a perception check for the same reason I wouldn’t go out of my way to rerun a perception check another day.
But I realise that’s just me and everyone’s mileage will differ
