"d20". -- I simply take the term from, say, Palladium Fantasy.
"Hero Points" -- my source? any game that uses them and predates D&D3E (i think i have several on my shelves). Or, the article for introducing the same to AD&D that appeared in Dragon 15-20 years ago (i could go upstairs and find it if i really had to).
In both cases, the term was not claimed as a trademark, so i can make whatever use of it copyright allows--and since copyright simply doesn't apply to such short phrases, the terms are effectively public domain. As they should be.
