Point buy (or “customizing ability scores” as the book calls it) is a variant rule, and therefore up to the DM to decide if it is used or not.There’s definitely some cheating involved there, but there’s also a lot of selection bias. The characters who get shown off are the ones who survive, which usually means the ones who got lucky rolls on abilities and HP. Nobody’s going around flaunting their character who rolled a 1 for HP and died immediately.</blockquote>
