I think that fudging die rolls in order to harm players is
*incredibly* crass.  However, a bit of niceness can always be
excused, as long as you don't have to continually do it.

How to fix your problem?  Get rid of the double-damage-on-a-twenty
rule.  I mean, 20's are nice, but what do double-damage rules really
add to the game?  All I can see is simply more unpredictability; another
factor tossed in that really doesn't need to be there.  You could also
get rid of any "fumble" rules you may have while you are at it (to
balance things out).
