I think what Greg Stolze does (in REIGN, at least) with random character creation gets it right: you're always allocating the same number of points (so there's no perception of one character being more powerful, more potent than another due to random happenstance), but how those points get allocated varies wildly.
If you haven't had a crack at the random One Roll Engine style character creation in REIGN, and you love randomness as I do, you owe it to yourself to try it out.
