#splattrpg

Welcome, to Splattrpg! A Splatoon-inspired table-top roleplaying game based heavily off of the dnd 5e system! Development for Splattrpg started September 14, 2023. We do not currently have a working beta for playtesting, but we hope to eventually turn this into a fully functional game with mechanics for turf war, story modes, and salmon run with a few starting adventures to get people started!

Weapon types/classes vers. 2.0

Painting

I’m making a Splatoon-inspired ttrpg based heavily off of the dnd 5e system. Currently I’m conceptualizing subraces for inklings

We have our first set of ‘patch notes’ for our system, featuring some issues with the leveling system (which will hopefully get its own post soon) and a hopefully more understandable explanation of how things work.

In Splattrpg, character classes are called weapon types. These weapon types are categorized by the weapon classes in the games. Brellas, chargers, shooters, stringers, etc. each weapon type has its own unique characteristics. The individual weapons in these weapon types are essentially the same as subclasses in dnd 5e and other systems.

The main change between this ‘patch’ and our previous post explaining these mechanics is that you can no longer change your weapon type. You also cannot ‘multiclass’. You can, however, you can, however, change your weapon (subclass) at any time.

For an example of this, a shooter main can’t also be a charger main. Nor can they turn into a charger main. But they can swap out their splash-o-matic for a jet squelcher.

Painting is based off of a point system. At the start of your turn, you get any number of points. These points represent the ink in your ink tank. Points reset every round. The amount of points available to you are based on the ink efficiency of your weapon.

You can spend your points on three different actions, inks turf.

Painting, counts as part of your action, DOES ink turf.

Attacking, counts as part of your action, does NOT ink turf.

Sub weapon, bonus action available to you once per round, does damage and paints.

Amount of tiles you paint per point used depends on the power of your weapon.

Some weapon types can only paint in certain shapes (chargers, splatanas, rollers, brushes.) but ink more spaces per point used.

Dnd 5e has classes. We’re changing these. Instead of classes, we now have weapon types. each weapon type has their own unique ability and they all level up to 20. ‘Multiclassing’ is not possible. however, you can change your weapon type at any time. At this point in development it’s unclear whether you keep your current character level when you switch. The individual weapon you choose is analogous with your subclass.
