This is actually stolen from one of the rules of Malifaux, I thought it could be quite and interesting thing to bring into D&D with all the advantage and disadvantage rules.
Basically, the way it works is that if you roll a natural 20, you can always use that die, unless you roll a natural 1, in which case you would always have to use that die.
So for example, if you are rolling with disadvantage and you roll a 4 and a 20, you get to use the 20, even though you're at a disadvantage. Conversely, if you roll a 1 and a 17, you have to use the 1, even if you're rolling with advantage. If you roll a 1 and a 20, you have to take the 1 if you're rolling with advantage or disadvantage.
I guess you could have it so that 20 trumps 1, but this way is meaner...which makes it better![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
