I see that you give the "average roll" for the dice determined by
each card.  I think that's a little deceptive in some cases and the
median roll would be more useful.  For instance, I pulled an ace of
spades, 4d12, and you say the average roll is 12, which is true (it's
about 12.24), but only 29% of the time do you roll a 12 or better.
The long tail of the distribution pulls the average up.

Just a suggestion, FWIW.
