There is a particular DND 3.5 adventure (Necropolis) I want to run using DFRPG. I would like to avoid having to convert everything ahead of time. I will be winging it on the monsters or using the closest DFRPG analog I can find. However, for traps, locked doors, etc., I wanted to see if there was a way I could convert the DND 3.5 Difficulty Classes ("DC") for these tasks to a (range of) DFRPG difficulty modifiers for the analogous exploit.

The problem is the DC scale is linear, while the DFRPG has a bell curve. Has anyone done such an analysis and arrived at a conversion of DND 3.5 DC to DFRPG difficulty modifiers? Thanks.
