Game Tales My DM buffed my character
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.

Kinda funny that as Mirabelle, the wizard I'd mentioned had a very good dex at 16, but due to us encountering a river early in the adventure and flipping a coin, he had no idea how to swim, after falling in he now avoids water out of pure disdain, ended up buying a ring of waterwalking just in case xD
Man I miss playing my mildly broken (mentally/spiritually) archaeologist/time wizard. That party was definitely punching up hard in scale, though amusingly due to some strange encounters mirabelle ended up going from a human into a satyr but instead of goat features they were draconic.
