Is a nat 20 not treated as a critical success? At least that’s how my 5e DM handles those.

Nat 20 adds one to the degree of success, which almost always means a crit unless you are dealing with something way above your level.

How some crazies want ability checks to work:

Player: I gesture vaguely towards the ancient dragon indicating I would like it to give me all of its gold and become my personal pet.

DM: Roll a persuasion check

Player: Let's see... Minus 4 because I'm still only level 2.... With a Nat-20 that's totals 16

DM: Nat-20? By golly I guess that means you succeed - the ancient dragon and its entire hoard of treasure are yours now.

Hey, if that's what's fun for your group, fuckit, why not?
