I'm working on an epic "existentialist" StP erudite that only relies on his own power and doesn't believe in the power of items or others.
The problem that I'm coming across is that I don't like how low some of his ability scores are and I'm looking for ways to permanently increase them. The rules for the bonuses are:
1. Cannot be homebrew (unless compensating for lack of epic rules).
2. Cannot use items or other characters (copies of himself allowed).
3. Access to ALL spells as though they were powers (spell knowledge is the exception to others helping).
3. Limited cheese allow, just no pun-pun limitless tricks allowed.
4. Not worried about NPF or dispelling.
As of right now I've got:
VoP with (epic homebrew (http://aaronwiki.us/index.php?title=Epic_Vow_of_Poverty)) enhancement bonus to all,
permanancy girallon's blessing and permanancy fuse arms (change to huge, then cast spells for maximum benefit),
and Extract Gift (create copy, copy uses metamorphisis, extract gift from copy) +8 enhancement to each "does not stack but overwrites lower VoP bonuses for now",
+5 wish to each stat
any other suggestions you guys have that I can use to raise my ability scores permanently (preferably untyped bonuses)

Assuming you're allowed to Permanent pretty much whatever you want (Girallon's Blessing and Fuse Arms are not on the standard Permanence list, and aren't excepted for such in their spell listings either) Greater Visage of the Deity will give you (most of) the half-celestial template, including a typeless boost to all your stats (only +2 for Int, but hey, it's typeless.) Other than that, I don't really know.. mental stats are a lot harder to explode than physical. You might be able to scare up a Sacred or Perfection bonus somewhere, but those are more often on Wis/Cha as the divine stats, or on physical stats in the 'gods help me smite my foes!' kinds of buffs.
