[QUOTE="Achan hiArusa, post: 1343734, member: 2597"] [b]Price Conversions to Purchase DCs[/b] Forget that, I just ditched all their problematic ad hoc purchase DCs and use the following formula (the functions will be on any scientific calculator): Purchase DC = 10 * log (Price in US Dollars) Round up the final result. So a $25,000 car is DC 44, a $2,000,000 yacht is DC 63. Anything that costs less than a dollar will have a negative DC, so that means the character can automatically take 10 and have the item. The purchase DCs in the book obey very little rhyme or reason (a friend of mine checked out the prices). I just recommend you just use real world prices and the above formula and ignore the ones in the book. Maybe one day I will actually do the actual analysis, but I have a planet to find (for real, I play an astronomer in real life). Sincerely, Sammy Grimes [/QUOTE]
