"Miss chance" in GURPS includes the opponents active defense rolls (replacing D&D AC numbers) - so you probably don't want fighter characters with skill 10 ;)

As a side note, you COULD create a THAC0 matrix for GURPS to reduce to-hit to a single die roll taking into account the victims defense and defense options. You'd probably need %ile dice to roll on it though, so I'm not sure it would simplify anything.
