As I was making a save or die sorcerer, I realized that the most important thing is getting your charisma score insanely high. With that in mind, I set out to see just how high you can make an ability score. The answer I found was 40. And here's how. If you're rolling your scores then you need the luck to get an 18. To that 18, you need a +2 racial modifier making it a 20. Then, as you level up you put all 5 of your increases in that score. That's all the free parts. Now it gets expensive. There are a number of books that give inherent bonuses to ability scores, up to a +5. You need to either find all of them for the appropriate score or just use a wish. No, you can't just keep wishing it higher, I've already looked. +5 is the max inherent bonus. With your level up bonuses and the inherent bonuses, you are now at 30. Now it gets even more expensive. You need the appropriate belt or headband which grants a +6. You now have a score of 36. The last plus four I found is with the ability score boosting spells. By the potions or cast them on yourself or have your teams mage cast on you. If you've got a nice gm, you can maybe get it made permanent. So that's the way to get a 40 ability score. Anyone know of other ways to boost your scores?
