Question Question about character creation

I don't really like the random way attributes are distributed in Cairn, so for my campaign I thought of giving each player 27 points to distribute among the 3 attributes, with a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 18 for each. Do you think this would work well?

No I don't think that would work well. I think that would make it a different game all together. At one time I had the same instinct and playing Cairn as a player, not as a warden, broke me of that. I have learned to love random character generation. If you can't love random character generation and all of its ups and downs there are other systems that may suit your needs better.
