In the New Talents and Old Trees thread, @Jareth Valar mentioned he would allow a Clone Pilot specialization for non-clones, a re-skin to have others besides clones being able to get certain new talents without changing old Talent Trees.
But this also got me thinking.
What about other clones? What is your answer to a player that says she wants to play a runaway clone of a Zabrak? Or a cloned Ithorian? A Rodian Clone?
I know the easy answer would be, to just make the character using the Zabrak species (or any other one) from the books as is . However, it is also very obvious that the Clones based on Jango Fett, as presented in the Rise of the Separatists book, are not simply Humans as presented in the three main books. The species is altered to reflect the fact that the Kaminoans cloned, and bred them for war, and modified them for quick growth. With Mandalorians and Corellians, Humans even have received two other variants.Local circumstances and specific genetic alterations change a base species enough, apparently.
What are your thoughts on this? How far would you change a base species, or allow a player to change it, to fit a special back story made for a clone that is not just another member of that species?
