Which skill and how much DC for lifting an object off a sleeping creature?

[magicalmagicman]

Which skill do you use to lift an object off a sleeping creature? What's the DC of success? This is untrained so I don't think sleight of hand applies but I'm pretty sure any untrained individual is capable of taking an item off a sleeping guy if the sleeper is a deep sleeper. Is it just a DEX check? If it is, opposed to what or what DC?

If you are trying to take something from the sleeping creature (like picking their pocket) then it would still be a Sleight of Hand check. Although the situation isn't explicitly covered that I know of, I would use as a baseline the listen checks for sleeping creatures (which is at a -10) and just lower the DC for the SoH check to a 10. This conveniently makes it possible as an untrained check.

An untrained Sleight of Hand check is simply a Dexterity check. Without actual training, you can’t succeed on any Sleight of Hand check with a DC higher than 10, except for hiding an object on your body.
