Look out for The Netbook of Martial Arts. Comming
ASAP. This guide will reflect my years of arcade and roleplaying
experience. Here's just a sample of the original work I did on the
subject. As you can see it's very primative & unbalanced, but if
you like it, have fun with it!

the time that they are old enough to walk. Their whole lives are
dedicated to the arts. They are the perfect weapon.

Special Hindrances:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Optional: If the DM allows the rule for extra proficiency slots
due to intelligence score (PHB page 16, table 4), then all these
extra proficiencies must be spent on martial arts skills.
Street Fighters can not wear armor of any type. To lower armor
class pick martial arts powers which lower the character's armor
class, or obtain rings of protection.
Street Fighters can not be encumbered over moderate while fighting.
Once a Street Fighter completely learns one martial arts school he
must find another teacher to learn from. Until he finds another
school he may not gain any more experience points.
A Street Fighter CANNOT decline a challenge from another Street
Fighter. The battles are until either opponent is knocked out or
either opponent gives up. If both opponents agree, they can wait
until until the next day at noon for the fight.
Equipment:
~~~~~~~~~
A Street Fighters may wear anything but mostprefer to wear a pair
of trousers and a vest with a sash or belt, others wear a
loincloth, or a tight fitting robe.
Street Fighters can not wear backpacks because they must always be
ready to fight, therefore, they must obtain some type of animal to
pack their gear, treasure, and food.
Races:
~~~~~
The Street Fighter kit is open to any race. Dwarves, Gnomes,
Halflings, Minotaurs & Orcs are not likely to pick this kit,
because of their build. If a Winged Elf picks this kit they can
not chose and Ki power which uses fire. Humans, Elves & Half-Elves
are the most likely races to pick this kit.
