AFAIK, the system goes back all the way to original HERO system.
Top Secret SI used it. V&V used a similar system.
Come to think of it, didn't Empire of the Petal Throne have something
similar?
I have no problem with everybody in the world ripping the system off
though because it WORKS.
Adv/Disadv systems are nothing new in RPG's
I'm surprised it took this long for SR to add one.
