I'm probably wrong, but the way you phrase it sounds like your DM might be limiting ALL search DCs to 20 for non-trap finders. Remember the DC 20 limit is only traps, not secret doors and other hidden stuff.evilbob said:This hasn't been too much of a problem, but we're really starting to get to the point where having a maximum search of 20 is really restricting, and we're probably missing out on some good hidden stuff (secret doors, stashes of loot, etc.). Not to mention that traps are really, really starting to get tricky. Typically our trap disarmament method is "send the meat shield first," but as traps get worse, so do our results.
There are a bunch of good suggestions here, but you could also ask your DM to remove the trapfinding limitation and allow anyone to search for traps. It probably wouldn't help your group that much, but it might let you get a few. Then you could get someone to multiclass into anything with search, not just rogue.
