Not at all.Just my luck then! Did I dream that combat system though?
You attack like in D&D using a d20. You get bonuses from things like physical prowess stat and class/level things like hand to hand martial artist. You need to get a 5 or higher to hit someone. If your result is lower than the opponent's armor rating (AR) the damage goes to the armor and not the opponent. An opponent can also dodge or parry depending on combat skill in which case they make an opposed roll to match or beat your attack. Dodge and parry negate an attack. If the attack hits and is a blunt weapon attack like a punch the defender can attempt to roll with the blow which is another opposed roll to the strike with success reducing damage by half. Certain things cannot be parried. Certain things can not be rolled with.
That is similar for a lot of Palladium games across the spectrum.
