I used a program called Cheat Engine which helped me locate the appropriate memory addresses and then wrote a small LUA script to interface with the program to add & display the stat values.
Since I look at the memory addresses directly, just about any update to the game will break previous versions of the program - so make sure to grab the appropriate file. I feel it's also important to note that I only ever read the addresses in memory, and never write anywhere, so the chance of any sort of data corruption should be incredibly small even with a program so prone to crash as this one.
Seems like a cool program, but is it possible to download it from somewhere else? Apparently I'm not allowed to download it because I'm from Sweden (see FAQ: http://www.gamefront.com/file-hosting-faq/).
Just took the utility for it's first real spin to see how well I could roll a Fighter/Thief.
I wanted to roll an elf, even though a half-orc can get higher strength and much better constitution. I wanted to get the +1 to bows and longswords, as well as the extra thief proficiencies for 19 dex (not to mention the base racial thieving bonuses for elves compared to half-orcs), and an 18/00 strength roll would put me only 1 melee damage down from 19 strength - which I felt was more than adequately compensated by the reasons I listed above.
I spent about 10-15 mins while I was working, and managed to roll:
I just saw that there was an update - I downloaded it and applied it and it doesn't appear to have broken the program. In fact, the launcher still shows v1.0.2009, so this most recent patch may not have changed much, which would explain that.
Lemme know if you guys run into any problems with it.
Works wonderfully. Now, instead of the boring job of re-rolling and adding numbers, I get the mind numbing task of left clicking while staring at a little white box. Thanks! Hehe. Really though, thanks so much for this.

I made a little script for autorolling. Seemed to work well on my computer but don't know how it would work on others.
Ok so thanks to your program I can finally prove my gut feeling that about 70% of all rolls are either 75 or 76. The dice rolls are sooo random it makes me wanna cry u_u

Not quite 70%. I spent about an hour rolling stats for a human fighter and recording the results yesterday. 519 rolls break down to something like this.

Its not the same for all classes. Cleric/Ranger, Ranger, and Paladin tend higher, with a lot more 90+.
Rolling a human fighter as well and it seems like an impossible task to get over 90, not to mention 95. I wonder how many patches will come out before I manage to roll my 98+ fighter
Random rolling is, if you can imagine it, random. I rolled a 55% 94 human fighter within 30 minutes yesterday. Stored and continued rolling for another 30 minutes and hit a 90+ at least three more times, but did not get better than the 94.
Doesn't work for me. Access is denied error usually pops up. Too bad, looks awesome.
[Not asking for tech support, it came with ample caveats]
Me too but enough people are liking it that it seems like a good tool.
@Guarocuya I'll take a look at it - If you could let me know which version you downloaded, and maybe screenshot the error you're getting, I'd appreciate it.
Also, just to double check - you already made sure that there was no other Baldur.exe program running in the background, and BG:EE was updated to the latest version and already at the stat rolling screen when you hit start, right?

There's a pretty good thread about Ctrl-8 and the other console commands here: http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/8317/how-to-customize-your-game/p1
EDIT: Works like a charm! I'm probably going to click my brains out when I come home from work tonight. Good stuff.
This is like crack to me.

I spent about 10-15 mins while I was working, and managed to roll:
Strength: 18/00
Dexterity: 19
Constitution: 17
Intelligence: 8
Wisdom: 8
Charisma: 18
The total comes to 88, with an 18/00 strength
Lemme know if you guys run into any problems with it.
EDIT:
I just realised I may have had the same issue as @Driftwood. Downloading from Mediafire.
