I like this, but I think it makes it too hard to roll for the upper and
lower limits. I made a similar table and assumed that when given two
choices you'd roll 1-3/4-6 or three choices 1-2/3-4/5-6, etc..

Handicap Table
In real life, you don't get to choose your handicaps. If the GM prefers, he
can decide how many handicaps to allow a player-character, and then let
them roll.
It is suggested that there be a 1 in 6 chance (or 10%) for any particular
NPC to have a handicap.
