Not to contradict anyone, but right now I'm playing a character who started BG1 with 16 STR (when he could have had 18), and now has a natural STR of 23. Meaning, of course, that if I'd given him those other 2 points at Character Creation, he'd have a natural *25* STR right now.

Note: I did cheat, exactly this much: He started BG1 as a Human Fighter, and I used Gatekeeper to change him into a Half-Orc Barbarian. I applied the following changes:
+1 to STR
+1 to CON
-1 to INT
-2 to CHA
+2 hitpoints at every Level Up (in BG1)
and I never let him wear any type of Plate or put more than 2 points into a weapon. So, yes, it's technically cheating, but perfectly fair cheating.
