Hanuman as a Mystic Theurge Monk?

Who knows anything about Hanuman? The Monkey God of Hindu mythology. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanuman
there's a link if you don't know much.
He's pretty much the most badbutt hero in an of the old epics, and I'd love to play a character that is (at least loosely) based on him.

The basic requirements for this character are
1) The ability to change his size, becoming very large or becoming very small. Shape shifting.
2) The ability to fly
3) Incredible strength
4) His tail has to do some cool stuff
5) Heavy, Heavy Immunity to fire

Hanuman, if I were to stat him out as he appears in the legends would probably be close to a CR 21 entity of sheer awesomeness, but as a playable character I'm willing to go with what I can get.

I'm thinking he should be a mystic theurge, with sorcerer and cleric levels, but also maybe some monk stuff in there. Here's where he'd have to start:
(I rolled for these stats)
Monk 1/Sorcerer 4/Cleric 3/Mystic Theurge 2
Str-16
Dex-20
Con-14
Int-12
Wis-18
Cha-10
Sorcerer Bloodline
Celestial (Empyreal)
Sorcerer Spells
0-Arcane Mark, Dancing Lights, Daze, Ghost Sounds, Prestidigitation, Spark
1-Ant Haul, Disguise Self, Enlarge Person, Reduce Person,
2-Bless, Bull's Strength, Resist Energy
3-Fly
Cleric Domains
Glory, Protection

And now its late, so I'll update more later. But yeah, how does that look so far?


i like where your going but not so sure about mystic theurge
edit also vanara is the obvious race for him


Have you considered monk/battle oracle?

Yeah I didnt put that down, but that build is with him as a vaanara. Battle Oracle just doesn't give him access to the kind of spells he needs unfortunately. Oracle in general has always been a very confusing class to me, as I've never been sure what to do with it.

He's also effectively immune to compulsion effects (he's the ultimate ascetic yogi in Hindu legend). Can't be seduced or frightened...
He can carry mountains through the sky.
Somehow he comes across as epic in my mind.
Oh, and he's a half-celestial.


Goku from DBZ was based on this character. Also known as the Monkey God or Monkey King. Anyway, he was also a bo staff master. So a monk/ staff magus with the staff feats from Ultimate Magic is an option.

Well, that's Sun Wu Kong, who is the Chinese adaptation of him.
