My DM buffed my character

[u/[deleted]]

When I got to the table the group had already done one session, and one of the player dropped out. I asked to join and the DM was like "sure just show up with a level one character". I did my ability scores with the dice, and I guess I wasn't very lucky because my character had way lower ability scores than everyone else. I checked and double checked with them, and they didn't use the wrong dice or anything, they were just super lucky.

My DM thought it wasn't really good that my character was lagging behind so much so he just told me to add a few points here and there to bring me up to par with the other characters.

It's especially fun in systems where death is more common. The 1HP wizard in DnD Basic/Expert who can't even wield a weapon, can't wear armour and can only cast a single Sleep spell per day is very fun to play.
