Reroll player traits upon cloning
#40
I think Sundance is on to something with the cloning aftercare idea. Under that system, you could still choose cloning over doctoring, but you'd still have to do some treatment, just a different kind that could be just as difficult, or at least more difficult than the current post-cloning medicine. (I sense brain damage due to cloning, and "cellular damage" for tgstation's version of cloning before cloning was removed might have been intended to function like this.) So you have the choice of either dealing with a patient's present ailments or cloning them and dealing with future ailments.

Personally, I think it accomplishes the goal of "give cloning a harsher downside" as part of "make doctors more likely to treat people rather than letting them die and cloning them" better than Frank's ideas about traits. There's a higher variety of effects, some of them are more debilatating than traits, and they're all stuff you can treat, unlike traits, which generally can't be removed. Plus, personally, I think rolling a random mutation alone is more entertaining than rolling a random trait (hey, you could wake up and discover you can go invisible now! but you could also find yourself deaf, mute, or Swedish)

If mutations turn out too easy to treat, there could also be the possibility they spawn reinforced. Or always come with a good mut, so you might need to consider if you'd be okay with parting with a good mutation if it means parting with a bad one.
