Final Comparison
The variance of 1d20+1d12+53 is closer to 58.334 than previous combinations and represents a reasonable approximation for both mean and variance.[Edit: Just checked it in google sheets, this looks right to me]
Yes, it's technically correct, but you said a larger dice, which a d12 is not :)
