In my experience, the later epic content is where your tribal guys start to get beat up, so the loremaster levels are perfect timing at 25. At 25 is where your power curve really swings (as well as your expenses, I hope you were saving money!!) First level of loremaster opens up your UMD and gives you wands. Wands, wands, wands. Now we can really efficiently start using buffs. In the early stages scrolls will get you by, but they really are a bit clunky compared to wand usage so this is a massive QoL improvement for you. After that it's off to the races. Basically you buff yourself and your little helpers up - and go adventuring!
I planned on a smith for this build, but you'll be able to make your own elven chain and moonblade (duh), but you can also make paladin chain which is pretty sick stuff. You'll have a silly amount of crafting points per day so you can set up a little shop and just sell all of the fanciest items! Your UMD will get you access to just about any item in the game (42 base), worst case you may need to make a bard friend for equipping some items if you're looking to go higher than the 60 or so that you can reach out and touch on your own.
Let me know what you guys think, it's a bit of a silly idea but I think it would be fun and actually /fairly/ effective thru the course of the game before you're a billionaire and ready to re-roll!
