WIS\Insight? Something to model understanding how a typical searcher thinks.• Disguise it as something else - INT\Survival (outdoors), INT\Deception (indoors), or cast illusion magic (including invisibility).  Probably contested by WIS\Perception.The DC for finding it would range from automatic (you flip back the bed sheets) to impossible (it is buried in the garden, but you have no idea of its existance, so there's no reason for you to dig up the entire back yard). The DC might be modified by time. If the searchers make a quick look (5 mins), the DC might be 25. If they take a longer look (30 mins), the DC might be 15. If they toss the entire room (2 hours) the DC might be 10.As usual, the basic rules apply: (1) Players describe goals and methods. (2) GM decides success or fail or maybe. (2a) If "maybe" then GM decides what to roll, and GM and/or Players roll it. (3) Players and GM narrate results and costs.</blockquote>
