Nope, it's definitely not MA or EPT, as someone else confirmed too.
It does sound like Arduin-like variant stuff, but it's not Hargrave's work, that's for sure. Perhaps since Felikeries grew up in the LA area, this is material from Balboa Game's _The Complete Warlock_ variant D&D rules? I have them in a box in the closet, and can go dig around for them, if folks are that interested.
Felikeries, does this info ring any bells:
It's taken from Afterglo's Non-TSR info pages at http://www.stud.uni-hamburg.de/users/afterglo/rpg/nontsr/others_ak/index.html (the parent page is at http://www.stud.uni-hamburg.de/users/afterglo/rpg/nontsr.html).
Just on a side note.. Noble Knight actually has that Balboa Games's book for sale for $65 if you are an avid collector of the old time stuff.

Also, a copy of Complete Warlock just sold for $6.05 on eBay. I don't see any other Balboa products available at the moment, but if anyone's interested, you can keep checking.

determining the cursor for this system is really an issue that may have
some of the aspects i spoke of which is limited press,and or issues with whoever copyrighted the first commercial D&D,but i swear it was a black book with D&D as it's title,using of course the references i've shown
the adventure theme Zetermieght was a quester that had some
material about a temple,Kalitor's Keep and some city and modifier extras
particularly ....
Monks~ may study at monastery for 10 days to gain a bracelet of
attack allowing 2d20 fist and 3d10 leg on 1 enemy in combat of 350 or more hp
Wiz,Ill,Clr~may find a place to pay 3,000 gp for a regent of Zetheria which will add 1d20 damage to spells(lvl 1-4) that roll 15 or more damage(orig.),and +4 attack roll for spells lvl 5-8
The Sword of Keffmoon~at night this 4d6+5(&levelers) sword will do +4 attacks and 3d6at3d6 inflict the special poisen on 1 enemy
note
poisen,3d8 & 1d20 2 melees dmg,1 m. will not be untill 1 day later,the DM rolls 1d20 m. after/@ 1d4 battles,second poisening latent dmg 2d20,3rd time 3d20)

Just re-read this thread.
Bug Bears with 300 HP?
The only thing I can think of not already mentioned is some sort of PBM game.
Failing that, I agree with RingXero. Sounds like someone with way more imagination than sense published their own deviant rules for "D&D".

Bugbears with 300 hp can also be found in the Everquest RPG. But that doesn't jive with everything Felikeries has said.
So my vote is that this entire thing is either a very elaborate troll, or he totally and completely made the entire system up. Or someone else did, wrote it all down in a "black book" and wrote "D&D" on the front cover.
Somewhere, there's a vital piece of information missing.
