dragonwrought kobold sorcerer 20
important feat:leadership. cohort:erudite thrallherd with two wizard thralls.
store your XP in a thought bottle.
polymorph any object into illithid form.
summon a succubus to eat your levels.
thought bottle foo yourself into an illithid savant 5.
eat your cohort's thralls' bfrains, getting some ranks in knowledge(arcana) and spellcraft.
have your cohortuse his spell-to-power PaO to make you a kobold again.
eat some thought bottle and become level 20 sorcerer.
since we are a dragon, as per the rules in draconomicon, we can take epic feats. we also qualify for epic spellcasting.

thats pre-epic epic spellcasting for ya.
if you dont agree the rules in draconomicon lets dragonwrought kobolds have epic feats, just PaO into some true dragon. results are the same.

q: Does Illithid Savant allow going above max ranks?

Besides, you're using thought bottle --- I'm sure there are much worse shenanigans you could do with that.

Yes, but you cannot put more ranks in from level until you reach the level that you no longer have max ranks or above.

to avoid thought bottle, just start at level 15, illithid form, level up to 20, eat brains, PaO back (you technically doesn't lose levels for PaO'ing).

but well, so are epic spells.
and we mustn't forget manipulate form(su)!
