Natural 20 = maximum damage.
Contemplating adding JB's 'cleave' to the natural 20. When a character embroiled in melee with multiple opponents does more than enough damage to kill a foe, the extra damage can “carry over” to additional opponents.
Natural 1 = minus 1 for the party's next initiative roll.
Cue loud grown from the table for a natural 1. It's a cumulative penalty. Cue even louder grown if a second player rolls another 1.
Only humanoid monsters receive benefit/penalty for natural 20 or 1. It's how we fight. The same way a human character can not do claw/claw/bite.

And yes I spelt groan wrong!
I informally use the "cleave" rule on crits. -- it's not officially in my house rules, but I invoke it frequently anyway.
