Converting d20 DCs to GURPS

Pragmatic · 08-16-2013, 09:36 PM

It's been recommended that DCs when converted to GURPS be kept to realistic items.

So, for instance, a lock shouldn't be arbitrarily DC 30. It's got to have a game world reason. You don't just increase the DCs for more powerful PCs, you have to have a reason.

In general, the situation should get modifiers (e.g., the guards are particularly alert), rather than a master adamantine clockwork lock.
