Best rolls I ever got were rolled 4d6 drop lowest for a 1e campaign:
18/76
17
15
15
13
10
A nearly perfect Paladin, and one of the few I saw rolled legit. Honestly, they may have spotted me the 17 for Cha when I rolled a 16, but I don't think so. They may have after the other 5 rolls. I don't remember that actual percentile roll, either, just that it was the 76% category. We did ability rolls and then ended session 0. I made the Paladin, went to the first session, and then learned that the campaign had been changed to be evil-only. I elected to keep my Paladin for a later campaign and rolled a new character.
I didn't get to play my Paladin for another 2-3 years. It was in a different campaign with a different DM in a different town. Nobody witnessed the character's creation in the new campaign, but they let me play him all the same. I wasn't even the PC with the best stats in that game! Ended up as one of my favorite PCs ever. Played him about 3-4 years from level 1 to level 15. We switched to 3e around level 9 or 10 since it was brand new.
It became a schtick for my character to be hit by disintegrate and survive. I successfully saved vs disintegrate at least 10 times during the campaign. The running joke was that my character was so charismatic because of the routine exfoliation from disintegrate. Under 3e rules, the character had an obnoxious Fort save. At level 10 it would've been at least a +14.
