Don't know if anyone has watched Tsui Hark's classic HK film "Zu: Warriors of the Mystic Mountain" or the recent remake "Zu Warriors," but these are a couple of builds based off characters in those movies.

To sum up for those who have not seen them, the idea of the first build (Old Zu Warrior) is a swordsman who flies around. Pretty much the concept the Bladedancer PrC from OA is based off. Having him have some rousing, inspiring songs would be good. Or any nifty, mystical protection, as he does not wear much armor.

Old Zu Warrior
Human
Bard 10/Bladedancer 10
Out of his 8 feats, he has to use 3 to qualify for Bladedancer: Dodge, Mobility, Spring Attack.
Ends up a tertiary caster - CL 10.
Plenty of move and Jump/Tumble madness.
Ability to enchant his sword in various ways.
BAB +17
But a bad Fort save.

the prereqs for the Bladedancer class are the aforementioned feats, 12 ranks in Jump and Tumble, +7 BAB. And ability to cast arcane or divine spells. Any suggestions on changes to classes taken would be cool. I wouldn't mind dropping the Bladedancer part if another idea worked better for the concept.

the second concept is a warrior who attacks using a large floating piece of sickle-shaped metal (a crescent moon).

New Zu Warrior
Human
Wilder 5/Ranger 1/ [Ithillid] Slayer 10/Master of Unseen Hand 4
Has TK power (and probably a creation power to make his weapon), and uses the combo a lot...

Any feedback would be cool. thanks.
