As this game is based on Second Edition Dungeons And Dragons, it uses dice to determine success and failure. The "d" stands for dice, and 1 indicates that there is one dice, while 20 represents the number of sides the dice has. Therefore, 1d20 simply means one twenty-sided dice, giving you a range of 1-20.
So if a weapon does 1D4 dmg the dice rolls. Rolls are from 1-4.

So it`s acutally:

1x1 = 1 - critical miss
1x2 = 2
1x3 = 3
1x4 = 4 critical hit (double damage IIRC)

So when your roll 1d20, 20 is always a critical hit.

I would look for weapons in ShadowKeeper but I feel lazy.
