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.
