What would the DC modification for Disguise be, if you didn't do any disguising what so ever, just pretended to be the person you wanna be? This sounds an awful lot like bluff, I know, but the idea is to be disguised without actually disguising yourself.

I'm currently thinking either +20 or +40 to the DC

I'd rule it perfectly reasonably for a character to disguise themselves without actually having a disguise, under the right circumstances. After all as long as you're not trying to impersonate an individual or be part of a group of which you obviously don't belong (like a dwarf impersonating an elf), nobody's looking at the details of your "disguise".

Someone mistakes you for a servant, you see the advantage and go along with it, Bluffing your way thru.
