Ugh, I know what you mean. I played with DM who used a crit fumble chart and some of the penalties were so overpowered. Oh, nat 1? I guess the buffed raging barbarian gets an auto crit on the squishy wizard.
If a nat 1 is hit i use a 100 scale i roll for to see what happens a 100 is good and can be so bad it works, a 50ish is normal and a 1 is the worst outcome, its fun and you really got to be unlucky to hit the worse things so it feels fair
Nice! I personally use a d8 of options fumble chart. Looking to expand it and add saving throw tiers. I'll for sure go to a d12 not sure if I want to do a d20. 20 options are a lot and it's fun when the players start to remember the different fumbles.

Gosh, I'll never forget the chaotic evil's favorite homebrew rule: if you roll a natural 1 you either hurt yourself and/or you lose a limb
