D&D 5E Help me make 'Manic' Jim Rannic

[Stalker0]

So I have a possible opportunity to play in a game (I'm normally the DM). I have had the idea of making 'Manic' Jim Rannic, and 80s action hero come to life in dnd.

So off the cuff I am thinking a Rogue with crossbow expert dual wielding crossbows (because guns akimbo is just plain cool). I was pondering the scout subclass, maybe he is an ex-Green Beret or something, scout doesn't give me a whole lot but its got a few goodies and I don't see any other rogue subclass that really does the job.

Or I could go maybe ranger or fighter. So I wanted to poll the audience.

Basically this guy is a larger than life action star. Low int and wis, decent charisma, with a decent str, dex, and con (aka no physical weaknesses). This is not your typical dnd specialty character, I am going for a more well rounded character that scares bad guys, kicks in the door, walks slowly away from explosions, all the good stuff. Oh an obviously a little unhinged, you don't get the nickname "Manic" for nothing If anyone has any thoughts on the best way to make such a character I'm all ears.

Level wise we are actually starting pretty high, I think 9th level, so lets use that as the baseline.

Definitely a Fighter Battlemaster to me. Sharpshooter + Xbow Expert + Archery Style is very powerful.

Second Wind is him wiping blood from the corner of his mouth, pulling off his torn shirt in one go, or wrapping his shirt around his wounded leg.

Trip attack, disarm, menacing (?) all seem super cool. Shooting the weapon out of people's hands. Doing it in hand to hand too with some badly editted 80s Steven Segal jujitsu.

Soon you will get a 3rd attack too. So 4 attacks in a round with your bonus action is pretty nuts.

You get Action Surge, which is about the most Action Hero ability around. Lets you pull off some insane rounds, especially combined with Battle Master tricks. Knock them down with one attack, then stand over them and unload six more attacks into them with advantage.

<edit> A less effective but more action movie focus could be battlemaster 5, rogue 2, barbarian 2. So you have cunning action to dash around the place, ignore enemy reach, hide like Arnie in commando. Then you pull out the Rage ability for the big boss fights. Seems thematic.
