My will be a sagely bard, and I want to make him as good as possible at knowing as much as possible (particularly about various monsters), so that my in-character knowledge matches my out-of-character knowledge. We're starting at level 12, so I have a lot to work with, as well as the standard 88,000 gp.

Best of all, we're using a 17, 17, 16, 16, 16, 13 stat array!

Problem: We can't take prestige classes, and are limited to only the three core rulebooks (3.5). Crud.

So, what would you do with this?
