Have a room with:

* A fuse
* A pre-placed clone
* A script setting the player role to something that can't ignite fuses (eg Citizen)

Start the room, and step on a fuse end. Since you're in a player role that can't ignite fuses, the fuse won't be lit. Now switch to the clone, and wait a turn. The fuse starts burning. A clone will always light a fuse it is standing on, no matter what the current player role is.

Expected behavior for me would be that the clone should not ignite fuses when the current player role can't do that.

I think the reason that happens is because since you're not the mimic itself, and since mimics in themselves are supposed to light fuses, the player role does not affect the outcome of the mimic lighting the fuse.

Post if I'm right.

Edit: Sorry. I meant clone.

I've made this change for 3.0.2.
