How would you go about statting up the three storms from Big Trouble in Little China for Pathfinder? What about David Lo Pan? My basic ideas are:
Thunder seems pretty clearly like a monk and Rain like a samurai. I am thinking either sorceror (Elemental Electricity bloodline) or magus for Lightning. Also, they would need to have some serious teamwork feats, which I know very little about.
Is Lo Pan just a wizard?
OK, first off, you are now officially my favorite person on the internet for this.
As for statting movie based NPC's, the best advice I thing I could give would be to try not to cleave too close to the source material. Think inspiration, not simulation. I say this with some experience as I tried to run a Feng Shui game many moons ago with the exact same concept and it.. didn't go so well.
That said, the base classes you've got sound great for those particular NPC's. I'd go just straight sorcerer for Lightning, but maybe throw him some weapon proficiencies along with relevant feats to supercharge the rare melee attack. Truthfully, They all might have some level of spellcaster, (except maybe Rain... what was his deal anyways? Super agility?) to reflect their otherworldly abilities.
Oh yeah, and Lo Pan is totally a ghost. He has the Curse of No-Flesh.
