I had a character like this once but instead of intimidate it was bluff. I once rolled so high I convinced a teammate, my enemies and myself, that I was a better fighter while on fire. A few (lucky) rolls later, Chinji The Fire Dancer was a story going from town to town.
Ngl dude, holy shit I had somebody like this in a campaign. He was a full Strength Orc Rogue, guy had 28 strength at level 1 cause he found a magic ring first thing, and this guy has a feat that adds his strength to his Intimidate. The guy's tag line that campaign was "I roll to intimidate", because let me give you a list of things he intimidated. An entire squad of goblins Himself Fire An entire forest A village he wasn't even in The entire Adventurer's Guild An entire camp of bandits And more... Gronkus Gaarn was an interesting bloke.
I have a similar tale, however this one involves a friend of mine being a mechanic... Oh boy... He liked to build things, to make things, to... Repair things. So to give some context, this was an apocalyptic future, mythical creatures became to appear in our modern age and some idiot launched nukes left and right, no one knows who though *glares at Russia and US on a world map*. In any case, we went into hybernation and woke up in the future. Eventually, after some sad times as each individual character understands all that they lost but look towards what the future brings, we eventually meet. My friend named his British character "Edward Cunningham the 3rd". We met on a battleship... Which was recently sabotaged by another player, Edward has to begin repairs as the ship even though fully crewed, can't fix shit. Edwsrd, with a nail(yes "a" nail as in one 2x4, and a hammer) fixes the radio and the engine... He critical 20s... 4 times, leaving only the cannon but then... We rolled a 1 for encounter... We got a boss fight. The rest of the soon to be named "FUBAR" battled a kraken... We were not doing so well. We were holding it off, but the ship was taking the brunt of it. He was using a flamethrower... He got tired of failing rolls and accidentally killing crewmembers. He said "Fuck it" and went to repair while the ship was still bare minimum health. With the same 2x4, nail and hammer that he fixed the engine and radio before, he not only brought it back to full combat capacity, but added a lot of shit to it... All while we were working to keep the kraken at Bay, suffice to say... We won.
Now, I am not a person who laughs very often, not during Do Not Laugh videos or during many comedies, but when Krod glared at the wood with such passion and the narrator said so nochalantly that "I roll to intimate the wood" I literally was in tears. That is one, if not THE, funniest thing I have ever heard.
Wanderbot’s grave of man campaign: in like episode 1 this bugbear paladin intimidates a pack leader kobold into better a goblin for the rest of the game, skitter skeeve went on to become an unstoppable, unkillable god, who probably could roll a nat 1 and still succeed through irl black magic, and he was a DMPC
When I was listening to this, I realized that I had read this through a 4chan green text and I loved it then. Regardless of whether this is based off that or this is your own (green text was originally posted on 5/28/13) it's good to have the tale fully voiced and immortalized in this way.
I read about this on tumblr. They said instead of stealth you put all points into intimidation and would just walk through town yelling you dont see krod
In D&D I had a 20 dex (I rolled max on Dex but shit everything else, mainly the lowest was 6 strength, keep this in mind.) So I pictured scrawny elf, really agile but weak as fuck. Funny thing was I would always have him do strength things more than dex things. "I want to lift the heavy table with food on it to use it as cover." I roll, I fail... repeat, rinse. Final sessions, we were making our way through a pyramid of snake people who obsessed over becoming god like. My character at that point had a side weapon beside his +1 bow to use in combat. A shield, and glove. (This glove was counted as a 1d4 blunt damage going off of strength) But thankfully I got some bonus for it and it became 1d4 + 0. I got it coated with the metal in D&D 5e that did autocrit damage on objects. Now we had reached big sandstone doors, the paladin and rogue both took a wack at it to open it, and failing. My elf walks up, takes a big swing, and hits the door with max damage, along with the hits the other two made, he was able to bust down the huge ass doors. The room was full of snake cultists summoning a giant snake, they had just gotten done... I immediately said. "I roll to intimidate" Dm was like, why and how? "To them, a scrawny ass elf that looks like he is one strong wind away from breaking in half, busted down two sandstone doors with a big ass dude and a rogue behind him." He allows it. Nat 20 Everyone in the room including my partners were intimidated. Including... the monstrous snake.
That carpentry sounds like my monk. I once made a monk in 3.5. We defended a town from the Sahuagin. I had put a single point into profession cook, because I always put a single point into some profession so I can say I am said profession. I rolled to see if I could cook the them. I rolled a nat 20, so my dm ruled that they carry a reagent pouch, not for magic, but it is full of spices that make them delicious. It was hilarious.
I end up one time playing a half demon sorcerer had a +21 to intimidate and + 15 to persuade well a few time killd a magic user the resurrected him and turned him in to my apprentice. My chacter had +1 to sneak so everyone always foud him untill i used intemadate to tell them you no see me keeping in mind that he is 15 foot tall person with a 11 foot sword on his back and no one ever saw him or more like not stupid enough to say anthing
😅Wow. Krod is so scary, even inanimate objects do his bidding. Krod screams at some planks of wood and a bag of nails on a ship, “Krod wants a crows nest NOW”!! Wood makes crows nest for him on the spot!
I once played one session of pathfinder with no other pics. Npc's were the rest of the party. I played a fighter and decided to try being more star oriented with my character. I had never been much of a power gamer and no one else was saying with me at first I ended up with +13 intimidate. At level one. It could have been +16 but I decided to branch out more. This was in pathfinder like the character in this video. I don't know why I'm commenting this but it does have to do with stuff in the video unlike other comments on these types of videos. If anyone bothers to read all this have a good day
Weird shit, I hear about two different DND online videos that are very similar with the jigalow line as a distraction. I assume people just make this stuff up and steal each other ideas
I love the Krod story but god-damn does this voice over have issues with pacing, emoting, and humor. You sound stoned and dead tired.If you rerecord this ever, go faster with more life. Sound like you give a shit about the story. Hell watch Tod of Tods Workshop. See how into it he gets? Be that. This story needs to be faster, with more life (any life) have some humor, emotion, and be in the head of Krod.
Robin Tupta It is a rather well known story among the D&D community... Here is one of many links. This guy was not Krod. amp.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/1nktlg/krod_the_half_orc_rogue/
It isn't. He doesn't claim that it is his story at any point. He is not the one who experienced the story,but he just retells it. If you look at his channel and watch a few videos,he retells a lot of Pen & Paper RPG Stories and usually puts links in the description.He also sometimes says which Story he'll retell next at the end of videos
If you watch the video, he starts by saying "This is a wrap-up from a module we were playing, but I had fun the whole way. I played Krod the half-orc rogue." It doesn't matter if on his Patreon he says it wasn't his story. He doesn't say it in the video, and he doesn't even say so in the video description, which would still be somewhat shady as we know almost no one reads descriptions, but that would at *_least_* be somewhat fair as other people not reading the description can't be held against him. However not admitting to the truth on the actual video's page *_is_* his fault. He is lying to the people who he knows aren't on the Patreon - and he knows it. Why? Because as long as most of the viewers think it is his story, they will come here for more of them - and that gets him that sweet, sweet youtube money. It's plagiarism. Your defense is irrelevant.
Welp you're saying it's stolen so... Source? After all if he "stole" the story that means there's an original somewhere. Cuz I'm gonna bet the source uses the "This is a wrap-up from a module we were playing, but I had fun the whole way. I played Krod the half-orc rogue." line. Edit: Read the link it uses the EXACT same line at the beginning. SO he's literally reading the ENTIRE story and you're giving him shit because he didn't preface THIS one even though virtually this ENTIRE channel is vocal reads of existing stories.
KROD CONSIDERS SELF MILITANT AGNOSTIC
KROD KNOW NOT WHAT TO BELIEVE
AND HE IS VERY _FRUSTRATED_ WITH THAT
@WolfgangLMclain Krod could still be very frustrated with not knowing. Just to be clear.
"i rolled to intimidate the wood" this is the best line ever
I roll to intimidate wood daily
As a carpenter intimidation is the best way to work wood, just talk nice to it once u get it. Where u want it.
lmao
Reminds me of the time I used Diplomacy to negotiate difficult terrain.
@@TinyFoxTom I want to hear that story.
"Krod chose suprise..." oh god im dead ....i didnt see that one coming ... brilliant
Partygnom That is Krod's point!
Neither did the suitor
so stealing that for one of my characters, just in case
Chuck Norris knows all the elements, but only acknowledges one element; the element of surprise. This "surprise" joke is so old, love it though.

An entire squad of goblins
Himself
Fire
An entire forest
A village he wasn't even in
The entire Adventurer's Guild
An entire camp of bandits
And more...
Gronkus Gaarn was an interesting bloke.
how did he intimidate himself
Just that intimidating I guess
I want to see the entire story.
How does one intimidate fire?
Just that intimidating I guess
*rolls to intimidate wood planks*
*natural 20*
*planks stand up and climb the mast, forming a Crow's Nest as they reach the top*
plot twist the wood was a mimic
@@firestorm165 but is that necessarily a bad thing? Mimic know better than to not be a crows nest.
very true, until someone goes to use it that is
"You No See Krod" Oh fuck, I'm laughing so hard I'm in tears.

All that luck went to construction. All that luck
The game sounds like rifts from what you said
bogustoast22 none did he hit the ship so hard with the hammer that it warped reality into fixing it?

"Fancy Pants tell Krod to choose weapon. Krod choose SURPRISE."
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
"Krod choose _surprise_ "
😂
the punch-line just makes it all the more funny! oh god the tears of laughter!
LMAO, intimidate wood
When it's No Nut November and you get a hard on
What i love about these videos is despite the lack of background music, your voice and narration perfectly fill that void.
“Angry Carpenter”
stealth through intimidation is dope
This is my favorite retelling of Krod's deeds...I love this so much.
Please tell me there is more Krod.
There are at least two krod stories not mentioned here
This is one of my favorite D&D stories
Wanderbot’s grave of man campaign: in like episode 1 this bugbear paladin intimidates a pack leader kobold into better a goblin for the rest of the game, skitter skeeve went on to become an unstoppable, unkillable god, who probably could roll a nat 1 and still succeed through irl black magic, and he was a DMPC
its too bad though that the friendships fell apart, the only multiplayer we get anymore is with Chelle
We need more of these types of story's back
I tried making a “krod” but my GM wouldn’t let me XD
Angry carpenter is the name of a swedish tv show
But what about krod stealing silver door?
At first I read the title as "Krod the angry Catepillar" that was fun to imagine for a bit.
OMG! So did I! lol

YOU
NO
SEE
KROD
intimidate wood is that how wooden space hulk fly?
Lmao, that sounds almost like Old Ben's story from Fallout New Vegas
why am i laughing so much?
i cant breath!
save m-
I FOUND IT I HEARD ABOUT THIS AT SUMMER CAMP STAFF FROM ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO PLAYED THIS, KROD IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!1!!1!11!!
Krod is sneakiest boy
I read about this on tumblr. They said instead of stealth you put all points into intimidation and would just walk through town yelling you dont see krod
YES!!! My hero!
Oh my god I'm still laughing, I'm crying, wtf "YOU NO SEE KROD!"
I want to know how this continues!!!

Nat 20
Everyone in the room including my partners were intimidated. Including... the monstrous snake.
Hope to see more of this or it's funny
You know society is decaying once they stop speaking of Krod's epic feats.
Please tell me there are more stories about Krod!
he intimidated the wood into being a crows nest....
amazing
remind to self, in the future if want to be wood worker be very angry, it will work.. possibly.. maybe.. most likely
this is amazing I'm using this idea

Top. Fucking. Kek.
How tall is Krod?
And that's how Waaahg fields work kids
Krod is wizard
I see nothing I wasn't here I did not even get up this morning embed German accent
I saw this on tumblr as “grog”
can we get the full saga of krod? i.imgur.com/tKjBWlD.png
I wasn't aware there was more! Usually the screencaps cut off after the duel.
Aelak Smith I
I laughed all the way :D
