Yeah those 100 AP will be a long time coming on Cormyr.
I am thinking of building a [real] first life Bard on Cormyr... and going full support
Requires +1 Lesser Heart of Wood
Chaosmancer 20 classic Bard or Stormsinger (for extended spell choice)
8/8/16/14/8/20
80+1+3 AP
70 EDP
Racial 19 AP (winter)
Spellsinger 41 AP
Feydark 24 AP (+4 CHA, GCS, +3 Spell Pen, MM immunity, Fear immunity)
The only reserve I have is survivability; I may drop 6 AP, and hence +2 CHA, and spend them in VKF for 2nd core.
Magus 37 EDP
Fatesinger 26 EDP
Primal 7 EDP
Quicken, Maximize, Empower, Force of Personality, 3 x SWF
Arcane Insight, Intensify, Inspiration Melody, then probably BoGW and a 5th (I'm not sure if Master of Music works?)
Perfect SWF, Crush Weakness, (probably) Epic Spell Power (cold, positive and sonic)
Scion of Feywild
+12 CHA from heroic trees
+4 CHA from EDs
+2 CHA from Epic Feat
+8 Spell Penetration from heroic trees
+15 Spell Penetration from EDs
Been scratching my head on this all weekend and can't see anything better for a first lifer. Perhaps you can?
Now imagine what you could do with 100 AP and lot's more EDPs
