Epic D&D 3.5

So my friend is going to run a 30th level adventure sometime in the near future. All I know is that it's 32 point buy, 4.3 million gold, and half your hit die + 1 + con mod to determine hitpoints.
I'm thinking Wiz5/Pale Master10/Monk10/Reaping Mauler5. Basically, i'm going to grapple people then use touch attacks to kill them. And if that doesn't work, i'll just grapple them to death.
Did I mention we're going to be fighting mostly 15th and 20th level characters the DM creates? I'm sure there will be some epic guys eventually though.
I do have a conundrum though; Sorcerers can't get into Pale Master until level 6, which would leave me a level short somewhere. If I give him an Ioun Stone with +1 Caster level, will that qualify him for Pale Master at level 5? It requires the ability to cast Vampiric Touch and Command Undead, which are both 3rd level spells. If I couldn't do that, I'll just go for Wizard 5, but I would really prefer the Sorcerer.
Right now though, I'm trying to decide exactly what kind of items I want to buy. Here's what I have so far:
All 6 of the Manuals/Tomes +5 - 825,000
Bracers of Armor +8 (These don't count as armor for purposes of Monk abilities, right?) - 64,000
Ring of Protection +5 - 50,000
Monk's Belt - 13,000
Bag of Holding IV - 10,000
Cloak of Resistence +5 - 25,000
Ring of Rapid Healing - 300,000 (This goes on the Hand of Glory)
Peript of Epic Wisdom +12 - 1,440,000 (This is a +12 AC alone for my Monk abilities, which is nice)
Robe of the Archmagi - 75,000
Pale Green Ioun Stone - 30,000
Wings of Flying - 54,000
Boots of Swiftness - 256,000
Total spent so far: 3,228,000 out of 4,300,000 total.
Basically, I'm looking for items to increase my AC and chances of successful grapples/Touch Attacks. Suggestions for feats will be taken also, but I imagine most of them will be used for grappling feats.

I'd drop the cloak of resistance in favor of a robe of the archmagi. You only lose one point on your save bonus, and yougat all those other nifty things, including ac and spell resistance bonuses, both of which are good for this build.
Stay as a wizard. The stone adds one to your caster level, which is used in figuring out the effects of certain spells (very useful), but doesn't give you any additional spells.
oun stones are always good. I reccomend lavender and green, pale green, and whatever stat boosts you like. At level thirty they won't be hard to take out, but those are a few attacks that aren't aimed at you, and if the build works no one will have a hand free to attack them with.
Head -
Eyes -
Neck - Peript of Epic Wisdom +12
Shoulders - Wings of Flying (Spell caster flying around flinging spells? I'll just fly up and "convince" him to come down)
Ring 1 - Ring of Protection +5
Ring 2 - Ring of Rapid Healing
Hands - Gloves of Dexterity +6
Arms/Wrists - Bracers of Armor +8
Body - Robe of the Archmagi
Torso -
Waist - Monk's Belt
Feet -
Man, I'm missing more slots than I thought and I still have 1.3 mil to blow.

If I go with a race that has 30ft, I'll have a total of 120 feet a round taking my +30 from Monk10 into account. Holy crap.

As for your torso, I'd go with a vest of resistance (I think you can just swap the stats from the cloak for the same price) and for the eyes I'd say you should customize some sort of arcane sight/identify thingy.
And did I read that right? There's now a DnD Epic 3.5 rulebook?
I need this.
Unfortunetly, there isn't. We're still using the 3.0 book, but 99% of the rest of the books we have are 3.5
Also, the Ring of Rapid Healing is in that book, gives you Fast Healing 3. Which says it gives me that amount of HP on each of my turns, which I assume means a round. So 3 HP every 6 seconds or so. That's a lot faster than Regeneration, though if I lose a limb, it won't bring it back.

Eh, I would still be losing out more than I'd be gaining. +1 or +2 Charisma mod won't do me any good, +1 or +2 to Wisdom would be 1 or 2 more AC, but it would be completely negated by the -3 Dex mod I would be taking.

For shame.
im interested in where you put your stats also.
so when you get finished, please post your end results if you dont mind.
Then declare that you have won the game.
Buy epic buff spells that range into the hundreds of points[and last for multipule years], make yourself immune to any non-epic spell you so choose [for multipule years], extend your life however long you want, and then basically melee things to death with +hundreds of bonuses to attack/damage on top of your completly ludicrous stats.
edit: anyway, grappling will probably be useless due to freedom of movement.
32 Point Buy.
Perhaps...
STR: 10
DEX: 12
CON: 16
INT: 14
WIS: 16
CHA: 8
Really, all my scores are going to be high anyway with magical items. I also haven't decided on a race.
