In the pulsing heart of the neon-lit city, the crowd roars as two fighters meet in the center of a makeshift ring, encircled by a wall of spectators. One, a towering brute with arms like tree trunks, squares off against a nimble acrobat, her movements as fluid and unpredictable as water. Welcome to the world of STREET FIGHTING, a tabletop RPG where you'll step into the shoes of fighters like these, each with their unique stories, fighting styles, and burning ambitions. Here battles are won as much by force of will as by strength of arms. The streets become your arena, every challenge a test of your mettle. The fight is on!

Although the spirit of ICRPG remains, many things have been tweaked and changed so some things might seem familiar yet different.

1 — CREATING YOUR FIGHTER

It's time to own the streets, make a name for yourself, and decide your own fate.

1.1 — CORE STATS

Distribute 5 points among your Core STATS.

• BRAWN embodies a fighter's physical power and resilience. Fighters with high Brawn land heavy blows, resist fatigue and injury, and easily overcome physical obstacles or opponents.
• AGILITY is a character's speed, reflexes, and nimbleness. High Agility allows for reacting quickly, gracefully dodge attacks, and excel in situations demanding deftness and acrobatics.
• CUNNING reflects street-smarts, quick thinking, and tactical prowess. Cunning fighters can read opponents' moves, exploit weaknesses, or mislead enemies with clever feints.
• WILL symbolizes inner strength, charisma, and spiritual mastery. Fighters with high Will strive under pressure, inspire allies, and effectively control their chi, and manifest unique abilities.

<aside> 🤔 For conversions these 4 STATs can be mapped to the traditional 6 STATs as

• BRAWN = STR & CON
• AGILITY = DEX
• CUNNING = INT, WIS’s perception and instinct, CHA’s magnetism
• WILL = CHA & WIS’s force of will and spiritual magic

1.2 — EFFORT TYPES

Fighters choose the EFFORT to commit into their actions. LIGHT effort goes first in the round, while HEAVY an GRAPPLE go last. See 3.2 — INITIATIVE ORDER rules for more details.

• LIGHT (d4): Quick jabs and kicks that probe defenses, disrupt attacks, and can create openings.
