The highest mage roll? / My 100 wild mage roll

What’s the highest roll someone’s attained on a mage (or any class) without in-game modifications, while allowing auto-roll?
I’ve achieved a 100 wild mage roll: https://imgur.com/a/XlFxl
After bg1, she will have 19-20-18-19-21-11
After bg2, she will have 19-19-21-20-21-12
After TOB, 20-20-22-21-22-13 Or 22-20-22-21-21-12*
Would anyone distribute differently if combat was the priority?
I did it with the help of the Enhanced Edition Auto-Roller. It ran at full speed for 4 days. As far as I can gather from the forums that's still incredibly lucky, since the amounts of rolls needed to make that outcome over 50% likely would require 1,5 months of continuous re-rolling. The low odds on good stats even with an auto-clicker really shows the depth, difficulties and possibilities of this game. There really isn't another one like it.
I’ve played this game on and off for 20 years and had different view in auto-roll during this time. It’s comparable to botting a character generation screen, so while not using direct engine cheats, it is not playing the game as intended. It’s essentially a tool assisted run. However, it does present another challenge in itself, reaching scores attainable only by extreme perseverance and luck.
I understand that mage is particularly hard to roll for mages and all classes with low minimums. Race minimums play a role here too. Does anyone have the relative odds for all classes? I understand that Cavalier is more than 10 times as likely to get good stats.
*That’s depending on the choice of evil or good path at Test of Wrath from the wraith Saraevok Bhaal Tear. In vanilla you could get 1+ primary here as well, which should not have been removed in ee. What’s the justification of removing an Easter Egg giving me 23 intelligence!

Many of these stats are surprisingly helpful for a mage, particularly being a decent at ranged combat due to strength modification bonuses for slings, and great natural AC due to dex. Haste modification=Machine gun. I also enjoy high regeneration due to con. My only wish is that intelligence was less of a vanity stat for mages. Did Beamdog introduce any changes there to make intelligence more significant?
Gus
With better implementation it would also effect dialogue options and max spell level that can be cast. It is an old game though so what we have is what we have.
