I finally rolled 18/00 on strength!
I've been trying all day but I finally got it. ♡

Getting a 00 AND a 92+ point roll...? That's the stuff dreams are made of!
For every roll you make you then just bump up strength to 18 (assuming you don't already have that) to see what the exceptional strength roll is. Doing it like that you probably only need to roll on average for about 20 mins to get the 18(00).
Of course if you're really inclined to cheese you can just press ctrl-8 during the character creation, or use EEKeeper.

And then I pressed reroll...
I thought it was common. I guess I don't appreciate my own luck!
Once I found out the truth, it's haunted me ever since.
For a Paladin or a Fighter/Druid, I definitely care more about the top-line number than the strength split, especially since everything's a 19 anyway after the tome. Most of the time there I'm happy to settle for anything over 18/50, and I'll take below that if the overall is good enough.
I've been playing this game 20 years and I've never rolled an 18/00 character. She gets it her first time. 30 point hits with pebbles. Dual-wielding crushing weapons. It's obscene.
And what the hell was that with the three 90+'s in 3 minutes?
I was rolling a Zerker to dual into a druid and it was taking time. She confidently said that she'd roll it for me. Alas, her beginner's luck was spent.
(OK, I guess if one only plays BG1, it may make sense. But one could also rush to Candlekeep for the tome and then finish everything up).
In a lot of ways, rolling for 18/00 is similar to dual-classing late. Both get you a very substantial advantage that you can only really enjoy over a small percentage of the series. It's just a question of whether you benefit for the first 20% of the trilogy or the last 20% of the trilogy.
