    5e offers three ways to generate ability scores: dice rolls, the standard array, and point buy. Sounds like you’re using the point buy variant in this game.

    It also gives bonuses to certain ability scores based on the race you choose (or maybe some other criteria in whatever changes they’ve made for One D&D) so 16 isn’t really the max even at level 1.
