Trying to Build a Chirrut Imwe type of character.


Advice


I have a lot of ideas floating in my head. Chirrut was my favorite character from Rogue One other than Alan Tudik's K2SO but I digress. Basically I want a spiritual character someone who sees the world as neither good or evil. But listens to the world around him to see the best course of action.
For those who are big Star Wars fans I'd like this character to have some kind of mystic ability. Some kind of mechanic that he can pull from to use but he isn't a jedi tier force user that he can just throw people around. Id like his weapon to be a bow staff or quarterstaff.
So the classes Ive got him narrowed to being a Monk, an Oracle, or a Magus. I toyed with a kineticist for a while but felt that it didn't quite fit. Though I have to say I was really drawn to the Psychic for a while but felt its spell casting was to much. If I could somehow get the magus and pyschic to class to play nice with each other that would be cool too.

The DM is very flexible and would be willing to work with me on some of this I'm sure if I wanted to move around class features or other things like that.


If ideally you'd want something drawing from magus and psychic then either the mindblade magus archetype or the phantom blade spiritualist archetype might fit best. If you want a spellcaster who fights with a staff a staff magus might be best. If you want clearly less than jedi-tier magic then some sort of monk perhaps. I'm not a big Star Wars fan - can you provide any more detail to nail that down?

Oracle with the Clouded Vision curse and the Battle Mystery?

To clarify he wouldnt be an obi won kenobi. He is throwing people around using the force he is letting it guide him and so he more. The quote in Rogue one that Chirrut says is "I am one with the force and the force is with me" as he sees himself as follower of the force and less a user of the force.

So I guess maybe a monk would be the best.

Sovereign Court

I went scarred monk for 4 levels to get the blindsense ability, then moving on to brawler. use the blind fight, blinded blade style.

I'd suggest clouded vision oracle as well, maybe the Lore mystery as it involves introspection and knowledge. You could pick buff spells instead of flashy effects.


Oracle with nothing but buffing spells.

Would you mind sharing your stats & build oath?

I’m starting a new char, & we’re looking to build something like our favorite movie chars. So I’m considering whether to go Chirrut or perhaps a Captain America build for fun.
