Ulrick was the name of my fighter in 2e AD&D. I rolled an 18/00 strength in front of my friends some 12 years ago using 4d6 drop the lowest method. I rolled an 18, then I rolled percentile dice and got 00.
Ulrick having such strength, at least from the DM's perspective, was unbalancing, considering that Ulrick also specialized in Bastard Swords
AND the DM allowed stuff from the Skills and Powers so Ulrick could wield a bastard sword in each hand with only a -4 penalty to each attack (by the high strength this canceled out). With 2nd edition giving fighters multiple attacks per round, Ulrick could kill low-level enemies with ease.
Some pointed out that Ulrick was Drizzt clone. "Nope," I said. "Drizzt uses scimitars and is a Dark Elf. Ulrick is human, uses bastard swords, and doesn't have Dark Elf angst."
Also, Drizzt, as far as I know, never had an 18/00 strength.
I win.
Unfortunately the campaign didn't last very long. But I still have the character sheet.
Edit: And yes, I rolled 18/00 on my first try.
