I have 20 points available, then I should be able to take a score to 18. The blockage here makes no sense


Seems weird that you claim to have played 5e, and are suprised that you cannot get an ability score over 15 with point buy.


What's so weird about it? I've been playing 5e for years now and I didn't know the limitation either, as my group plays with rolled attributes or standard array but never with point buy.
