However, it gets silly when theres pages and pages of house rules.My group has the following:1. Skill checks. A natural 1 on the dice is always a failure.2. Skill checks. A natural 20 on the dice is always a success except where the rules say otherwise (example being a non-rogue searching for traps).3. Combat. There are no fumbles. A natural 1 is simpley a miss.4. Combat. A roll to see if a critical occurs only if you crit a creature of a size larger than your character.#1 & #2 came about because the players felt more comfortable with is, #2 especially. #3 was implemented because the group realised that the better a combatant became the greater the odds that he could fumble which didn't make much sense to them.#4 was made to keep combat flowing easier, and save on unnessecary dice rolls. Plus a couple of the players were often annoyed when their nat 20 failed to confirm a critical.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
