As pretty much any woman can tell you you don't just put makeup on once a day, you have to touch it up and maintain it, especially if you are using old style makeups.A disguise would work the same way, you have to touch up a disguise if you are wearing it for any length of time.So unless the PCs are stopping to double check all thier disguises at every gate for example, there is a chance that something in the disguise slipped or that they fell back to acting how they normally do.I would allow the PCs to take 10 on the Disguise checks if they are actively making sure that the disguises are properly maintained, but the problem with taking 20 is that a disguise would wear out especially given the amount of time a take 20 would take. (3-10 hours at the longest? About the amount of time some actors go through for movies, so not unreasonable.)  And if one character is doing all the disguise checks for the whole group takeing 20 would take 12-40 hours for a 4 character party. Kinda seems foolish to take 20 on huh?</blockquote>
