Is it possible to take a 20 with the sleight of hand skill to hide a small object like a dagger on your person, assuming you're not observed and have the time? If so, would the DC to find the object be 20? Or 20+2 (assuming the dagger's bonus)? Or 20+2+SoH skill? And if not possible, why not? I've always played where you take 20 and add all the bonuses, leaving me with a dagger hidden on me with a DC in the mid 30s after a few levels, which seemed a little ridiculous.
Take 20 is restricted usually in that you assume consequences of failure, which if you're not observed and have time in nothing. But then, do you hide the object and just not know it fails? Or do you go "well that's no good a place" and try again until you succeed (take 20)?
