So, you rolled a natural 1 on a d20. What happens?

First off, regardless of any bonus to strike (it could by +100 and wouldn't matter) you miss.

Next, identify whether or not you have a weapon proficiency for the weapon you missed with. If you have the appropriate weapon proficiency you will roll another d20 and refer to table below. If you don't have the appropriate weapon proficiency, you'll roll d20 with a -2 penalty and refer to the table below.

Critical Miss Table
<1: You manage to wound yourself. Double damage!
1: You manage to wound yourself. Roll damage.
2: You manage to wound the nearest member of your party (if this is impossible, you wound yourself). Roll damage.
3: Your weapon is damaged. If it's a ranged weapon, it will remain non-functional until repaired. If it's a melee weapon, it is broken and will do 1/3 of the normal damage.
4: Your weapon malfunctions if ranged or is dropped if melee. Lose 1 attack in surprise. Another attack can be used to clear the jam or pick up the melee weapon.
5: You drop your weapon and lose 1 attack picking it up.
6-20: Normal missed attack. No additional penalty.

Other consequences are possible on a case by case basis depending on the scenario, actions, and weapons used.
