Dice+mods applied to a wide berth of tasks across the system had slowly established itself in several places across the hobby. D&D just followed this evolution.Palladium OTOH, never moved beyond using percentile for skills (another 1e-ism) and different dice for combat. That palladium acheived as something of an abberation one thing D&D did as part of a logical evolution is not an especially compelling argument that Palladium is some bastion of inspiration when it comes to RPG materials. It's a bit like crowing that your clock, which has stopped, is correct twice a day.Fact check -- copyrights are NOT good for 20 years. Quite a bit longer, actually.But as long as you are comparing copyright dates, look on those 1e (& earlier) books and observe that primacy.Now there's an impressive appeal to authority.</blockquote>
