intelligence : 14

I got 559 hp for him, with dr 15/- , sr 52 (epic spell penetration with a level 40 caster is a caster level 46, making them have to roll a 6+ if they are a straight caster), rerolls all miss chances due to concealment twice, can't be caught flat footed by invisible or hidden characters, immune to poisons, mind effecting spells or effects, diseases, only takes half damage on a failed reflex save and no damage with a success, and has dr 20/+1 (good for all those epic beasties / familiars / summons).

saving throws (by level 40):
fortitude 28 (34 vs spells)
reflex 24 (30 vs spells)
will 26 (32 vs spells)

Besides all that, the best thing about this character are his combat modes.
offensive:
flurry of blows:
25/25/22/19/16/13
damage : 1-20 + 2 (20/x2)

defensive :
defensive stance raises str to 18, gives 80 hp, raises ac to 33. empty body gives 50% concealment. Stunning fist the opponent (dc 35 at 40th level), knock him down with improved knockdown (since he's stunned it's a lot easier), then quivering palm (fortitude dc 29). if that doesn't work, repeat the stunning fist/knockdown untill it dies.
29/26/23/20/17
1-20 + 4 (20/x2)
