Hello RAW and RAI friends. I just noticed that when you select a new Core Background for PHB 2024 and you see the prompt, "Increase two score (+2/+1)" and the drop down, "Increase one of these scores by 2 and a different score by 1." Currently you can choose the same score twice, effectively starting with a 15 stat +3 to get an 18 at 1st level.
Please fix the character creator so that once you lock in a single stat, it updates the other drop down.
Alternatively, please put out a statement or errata stating that +3 is allowed (if this is actually the case)

It's not technically allowed. My DM said "eh go ahead they screwed those scores up by limiting them in the backgrounds anyway."
