[QUOTE="Ulrick, post: 609476, member: 775"] [i]EDIT: The second option should read: I haven't rolled such a score but I have witnessed it. [/i] I got this idea from the Roll all 18s thread. For those who don't know, back in the days of 1st and 2ed there was a thing called an "Exceptional Strength" Table. If you were a fighter, and you had an 18 strength, you could roll on this table to determine how exceptional you're strength was. You rolled d100. The highest resulted ("100") confered upon your character a +3 to hit bonus, and a +6 damage bonus. Yes, even at first level, you were a powerhouse, able to kill most creature that are normally encounter at 1st level with one hit. And if you used a Two-handed sword against a large creature, you could to a whopping 24hp of damage. In my 14 years of gamings, I've only seen this score rolled once, and that was by me using the 4d6 drop the lowest method. That character's name was Ulrick. I know a guy who claimed to have done so, but he was a known cheater and thus was discredited (and none of his characters stats were below 16). I'm assuming probably more people have seen this happen than somebody rolling all 18s. Btw: In 3e rules, a strength of 22 equals 18/00. [/QUOTE]
