some questions about Stats/Skill numbers

[Anklenibbler]

not counting being a human, whats the highest you can get the strength stat *not counting any buffs just items, feats, skillups*

can someone break down how high you can get UMD?

having heard that search is usually the limiting factor for disarming rogues...if you add a level of search every level willl that usually cover whats needed or do you need to add enhancements/racials also?

You should specify “Pure rogue” as well if you’re going to remove Human Adaptability from the equation.

Strength:
18 Base
+5 Via Level Ups
+4 Tome
+7 Item (Epic belt of the Mroronan)
+3 Exceptional STR bonuses
+2 Completionist Feat
----------------------------------
39

Since you put some wierd requirements on the STR score I’ll assume you don’t want buffs in your UMD score either. You can get +11 or more from buffs. And your CHA modifier will increase/decrease your score as well.

UMD:
23 Base Skill at level 20
+5 Competence bonus (Seven Fingered Gloves)
+6 Exceptional Bonus (Greensteel CHA skills item)
+2 Luck Bonus (Head of Good Fortune)
----------------------------------
36

You could also get up to +4 more if you decide to gimp yourself and pick up Skill Mastery 4 times. You can get 2 more from Completionist (Not counting the +1 you would get from the CHA buff.) You can get +3 More from the Skill Focus Feat and you can get 1 more from Sneak of Shadows and +1 more with the bard past life feat.

Keep it maxed for your level which will be your lvl +3
And keep an item of the highest bonus you can get for your level. The items boosting spot/search/DD come in odd levels with each item having a bonus equal to its level. (Except lvl 9 items which give +10)

Keep the skills maxed and good items and you don't need racial bonuses or enhancements
