Making a Chinese Hero Character?

[G-Solo (Indonesia)]

So, how can I build a character like Wuxia Heroes or Chinese Cultivator hero? Or maybe what should I do, if I want to make a character like Guan Yu, from Dynasty Warrior? Does anybody can give me some tip / guide?

For cultivator
- 19 Sword Saint / 1 Traditional monk
- 20 Monk
- 8 Eldritch Scoundrel rogue / 1 Aldori Defender / 1 Traditional Monk / 10 Eldritch Knight
- Kineticist could also work

I don't know Guan Yu from Dynasty warrior... but i think a simple fighter would be about 75% right but something would definitely be missing.

I still level 8, I have Monk Scale fist lvl 5 and Sword Saint (unarmed focus ) level 3 now. The problem is that I think fist is not universal problem solver for my hero in all battle. I wonder if my hero's fist can hurt creatures that can only be hit by magical weapon.

Fist is a very weak weapon unless you are a pure class monk and i would not recommend to use fist on a multiclassed monk...

So i should go to 19 sword saint first before getting 1 traditional monk?
and I have to go to 8 E.S Rogue first before I gt 1 Aldori, 1 Monk, and 10 E.K?

Yeah 19 sword saint / 1 traditional monk is what i would do if i wanted something that feel like a cultivator. As for the weapon, there is a few possibility but i think dueling sword, longsword or scimitar would be the most 'cultivator' choice.

Dueling sword is a dex weapon which mean you should go for a high dex build with weapon finesse + slashing grace.

Longsword or scimitar mean a high str build

That would be for a more ninja like cultivator or maybe a more 'female'.

Aldori defender is to get dueling sword and you will need it before your 3rd level of rogue and 1 level of monk is optional. So i would go

1 aldori defender
2-9 scoundrel
10-19 eldricth knight

Or

1 aldori defender
2,3,4 scoundrel
5 monk
6,7,8,9,10 scoundrel
11 - 20 eldricht knight

I don't know how "ninja-like" you want to go, and I don't know if you're open to mods, but the Call of the Wild mod adds the Ninja Archetype for Rogues. They get unique Nnja tricks, Sneak Attack, etc. You don't even need to multiclass to be extremely strong.

Just a thought.
