Using Gamemastery Chase Cards in 4th Ed

[Anjohl]

So these cards look very useable in 4th edition, but the DC values seem all over the place. Does Pathfinder calculate DC differently? For example, an easy check card has a DC of 10, while a hard challenge has a DC of 25. So this cannot simply be a matter of "Subtract 5 from all DC checks on cards", since a DC5 is abysmally low.

Is there a way to "transate" the DC numbers across to 4th?

You can't translate the numbers exactly.

Instead, use 4th Edition's revised skill DC rules, and pick a level for the whole encounter (which need not be exactly the level of the PCs).

Edit: I found the rules here: http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/mastery/chases.html

Many of these look like they would have fixed DCs. For 4e you would need more cards, including a "high level" set. A 20th-level heavily armored dwarf fighter without the Athletics score is still not really challenged by a steeply sloped roof, so no need to include that in a "high level" deck.

Use the DCs from the 4e Rules Compendium, pg. 126, and they should work fine.

CAVEAT: I have never seen this product, so I'm assuming there are no problems outside of the DCs.
