Sounds pretty cool actually. They now have a reason to be known as sneaks and thieves; rather than just being small and dexterous, they can easily flow through cracks and poorly sealed portals (plus the racial domino masks). They also have a reason to adventure (find hip fresh shit), and their weakness to water would be interesting in-play.

8/10 may steal.

>>48596452
these are all impressive points.

Especially if you could get your team to cooperate and help spread your ink throughout the dungeon.

How would you represent inklings In 5e?

I love tactical play (4e4ever) so I was thinking some sort of turf capturing special ability that lets your reroll range attacks and hide.

Actually that dying to water thing is only a game mechanic. They aren't harmed by it at all, they just can't swim because they sink.

I took a number of cracks at it some time ago. Eventually, I gave up giving them an 'inking' ability and just made them swim in water. It's a lot more simple to balance and can be used in play far more often without a bunch of mechanical wiring for something that would then feel out of place.
Now, I imagine 4e could actually facilitate it well. Racial feats and paragon paths could supply the abilities, and the game is very tactics/map focused.

>>48598781
I'm pretty sure Maria referred to it in dialogue in the introduction.

Nintendo isnt like naughty dog, they Rarely bothered to strap an in depth 'realistic' narrative on to a platformers shooter. If it's in the gameplay odds are it's part of story, doesn't matter if it makes sense or not.

no one is going to send an official to your house and write INKLINGS in red pen through out your notes.

These threads are a chance to *explain* shit about your settings, dumbasses. Show off how you've taken common tropes and used them differently and also display how your setting would react to weird things, duh

I typically have elves take the role of seafarers rather than forest dwellers, so they'd replace them more smoothly.

It's an interesting thought, I've already experimented with refluffing elves as sort of fishman types, so going with squids instead might be fun.

Well, in my own OC Donut Steal setting it, halflings are an ethnicity/nationality of dwarves, so do they replace all the dwarves or just the 'halfling nation'?

Either way, from the stand point of the rest of the world, it's not the first time they looked oddly like marine life.

I remember discussing that thread. All in all: if you could indoctrinate Inklings into the Cult of Imperium, they would make incredible IG squads.

You are doing it wrong, inkings would never do that not even in 40k.

>>48598833
Awesome

>>48598833

4e would be able to handle it VERY easily, I'd say.

They gain phasing (Can pass through people/terrain) in 'Ink' zones and the encounter lays down an ink zone. Add a couple of racial feats to give more ways to do so and you get a race of sneaky fuckers. Not quite as good as halflings at laughing at defenders but they are highly mobile/tricky.

>>48598781
It's implied they can swim multiple times.
Swimsuits and pools both exist, for starters.

It becomes a popular on boards besides /tg/, as well as becoming much more popular on /tg/ itself

>>48596354
I can be both a squid AND a kid now.

Uh, what if your setting doesn't HAVE halflings?

Then all the inklings in your setting are replaced with halflings.

Halflings are just short and hot humans.

>>48601122
S'okay, anon. It's Anima, so that complaint is actually logical.

>>48598996
The examples given wouldn't add weird things, it replaces a part of it with a different part, thus making it different than original, thus making it not my setting any more.

It would be one thing if it was asked what would happen if a situation occurred. It's different if it just up and replaces something.

It's like asking the following : "all of the dragons in your setting are now sexy plant people what happens" when your setting has dragons as figureheads for each Peninsula of a kingdom. It changes things completely.

>>48602194
>here be Halflings/Dragons
>situation occurs
>here be Inklings/Sexy Plant People

It's not rocket science.
Now stop being an uncreative, lazy hack.

>>48602194
You don't seem to know what imagination is.

>>48596354
My setting has no halflings, so no change.
Gnomes are out as well. Blame Dragonlance...

It rains and they're incapacitated.

As it happens my party is currently adventuring through a bog so water water everywhere.

>>48602370
See, it's never 'situation occurs, what happened' it's 'replace things in your setting, with no explanation, what happens'. With that, nobody would react, and it would be a setting with something replaced not changed.

I'd be perfectly fine with it if someone said 'A curse has befallen all halflings in your setting, and now they have become inklings.' At which point the "halflings" would look for a way to change back. Like any sane race would do.

>>48605085
Then you make up an explanation, you uncreative, lazy and probably to some degree autistic hack.

Place them in a pit with the floor covered in their own ink, but with the walls covered with an ink-phobic substance. They won't be able to reach the grate above them, and even if they could, the ink-phobic bars would probably make it harder for them to slip by.

inklings would join the numerous other races in being a kingdom less race of vagabonds but I imagine inklings would actually be good. Oh the other side the entirety of a platuea is now free or at the very least less populated so I guess he Dragonborn will try and make a kingdom there and then have their curse fuck them out of it

Grates above water. Inklings slip through grates if they go squid, and they can't ink grates enough to hide in them.
