We are making characters in Pathfinder and a player asked if they could go past 18 with racial bonuses. Now we aren't talking with any equipment, just a simple 15 point buy with pluses also from the race. I'm mostly asking because I'm pretty sure somewhere I heard that you can only go to 22, but that's with levels if I'm not mistaken.

You can go up to 18 by buying, and then add your racial bonus.
