I haven't used die rolls for this or hit points since 2nd edition. We usually go for 30 or 32 points. Everyone is happy and no one feels shafted because they no longer have to choose where to put their 3-6 score (Do I want my character concept + ridiculous frailty, bumbling clumsiness, crippling sickness, drooling stupidity, mind-boggling naivety, or wrist-slitting social ineptitude? Hmmm...tough choice. Maybe we'll just use point buy and play the characters we want to play.)
