They are larger, stronger and some might have other abilities, than humans, but have several crystal growths over their bodies. Most of humanity avoids and shuns the Forgotten, partly due to the possibly of them spreading Tiberium poisoning to those who are not immune to Tiberium. The Forgotten, while immune to Tiberium poisoning also heal when exposed to Tiberium, making their home in the Tiberium fields the perfect location for them, and most just want to be left alone.While many live nomadic or semi nomadic lives within the fields, there are some large settlements around abandoned NOD or GDI bases within large Tiberium fields. Most Forgotten are just ordinary people trying to survive in their nomadic lives, or in the few permanent settlements. Some are marauders that raid other Forgotten groups, but those are rare, mostly raiding outsiders that travel through Tiberium fields, or settlements and bases outside the fields for supplies and materials they can't find within the fields. Over the years the Forgotten had worked with, and been taken advantage of by both GDI and NOD, although many Forgotten are more willing to work with GDI than NOD as NOD had kidnapped, experimented and turned members into their cyborgs.Forgotten, if one can win their trust, or purchase their services, make excellent guides and combatants within Tiberium filled areas, as they are immune and are healed by the substance that make their territories. In Coreline, Forgotten live in several Tiberium fields, and work to keep it within a certain size, preventing it from growing beyond their borders so they have a home that everyone else stays out of, after the defeat of NOD which they provided assistance. The largest Forgotten settlement on Coreline Earth is run by an Alternate Tratos that wasn't killed by NOD agents in Australia, built from the a combination of GDI and NOD buildings and salvaged vehicles from the battle. The settlement has 3 generation 3 Tiberium refineries with a large number of silos to hold the refined materials that they sell and trade for resources they can't get within the Tiberium field. Their harvesters concentrate around the edges of the field to keep it from growing further. They also strive to keep Tiberium mutated animals from wandering outside of the fields to the best of their abilities, and provide escort for scientists studying the mutated life, such as the Tiberium Razorbacks and Tiberium Cassowaries.Outside of the Tiberium fields on Coreline Earth, some Forgotten can be found on other planets with Tiberium concentrations, or serving in some militaries as soldiers that work in hazardous areas, or research ships and stations studying Tiberium and its effects. To function outside of Tiberium fields without contaminating those around them with Tiberium radiation, with the use of containment suits, armour and environmental shielding. A group of 20 Forgotten scientists are working with the Federation of United Planets scientists in studying an uninhabited planet that has a small, but growing Tiberium presence.Tiberium Mutant TemplateTiberium Mutants are people who have suffered Tiberium poisoning and survived, with growths of Tiberium crystals out of their body. Their body has adapted to survive and thrive within Tiberium affected areas. Most Tiberium mutants gain increased strength, robust health, some resistance to damage, and even some strange additional abilities, but they appearance is altered and the emit low levels of Tiberium poison radiation. Most Tiberium mutants are humans, although other races have been discovered, but are fewer in numbers.Racial Traits:Ability Modifiers: +2 Strength, -2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution, -2 Charisma. Tiberium mutants are stronger and heartier than others of their race, but due to the Tiberium crystals, their not quite as agile or flexible, and their appearance is altered and are shunned by most people.Size: Most mutants are medium size, but if another race of a different size suffers Tiberium poisoning and becomes a mutant, the mutant remains the same size.Speed: Tiberium mutants base land speed is 30 feet, unless their base race is has different speed.Tiberium Immunity: Tiberium mutants, after becoming a mutant, are immune to Tiberium poisoning, the radiation it produces, effects of Tiberium gas, and damage from weapons made of Tiberium. They can even see through Tiberium gas as if it wasn't there, although it does make anything within the field, or they view on the other side of a Tiberium gas cloud has a light green tint.Tiberium Healing: Tiberium mutants are healed by Tiberium. While in a Tiberium field gain Fast Heal 2 and for 1d4+1 rounds afterwards, while in a cloud of Tiberium gas and breath it in, gain Fast Heal 5 for as long as they are in the cloud and 1 round afterwards. If attacked with a weapon made of Tiberium (stabbed by Tiberium crystal, or shot with a bullet made of Tiberium, etc), they don't suffer any damage, but are healed half the damage the attack would have done.Resistance: Thanks to the growths of crystals on their bodies, Tiberium mutants gain Damage Resistance 1d4 (set at the time of creation) which can stack with other forms of Damage Reduction from classes. They also have +1 Natural Defense bonus to Defense.Tiberium Poison: Tiberium mutants emit a low level of Tiberium poison and radiation equivalent to exposure to a Tiberium crystal on contact to anyone touching them or within 1 foot of them.Reputation: Tiberium mutants are feared due to having been mutated by Tiberium and can poison those around them. Gain a +1 bonus to Reputation, and suffer -1 to Cha related skills interacting to those who are not Tiberium mutants.Tiberium Abilities: Tiberium mutants sometimes develop unusual abilities due to their Tiberium poisoning and it modifying their DNA. Tiberium mutants have a 25% chance to develop a special ability, roll on table below.ECL: +2 or +3 if has a Tiberium Ability.Tiberium Ability<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>Roll</td><td>Ability</td></tr><tr><td>1</td><td>Crystal Armour</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>Launch Crystal Shard</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>Grow Crystal</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>Tiberium Gas</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>Combat Frenzy</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>Shard Burst</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>Energy Blast</td></tr><tr><td>8</td><td>Growth</td></tr><tr><td>9</td><td>Chameleon</td></tr><tr><td>10</td><td>Select 2 Abilities</td></tr></table>Crystal Armour - The Tiberium Mutant has more crystal growths, providing improved protection against attacks.

If the mutant suffers more than 20 points of sonic damage from a single attack, the crystal item formed shatters.Tiberium Gas - The mutant can release a cloud of Tiberium gas as a full round action, filling a 10 foot radius burst around itself, cloud lasts for 5 minutes if there is no wind. Any creature in the cloud is immediately exposed to Tiberium gas and is suffering from Tiberium exposure. If the mutant moves out of the cloud, Tiberium gas lingers to it and for 1d4 rounds any creature within melee range of the mutant is exposed to Tiberium gas exposure. The mutant can release this cloud of Tiberium gas 1 + Con modifier times per day.Combat Frenzy - The mutant can enter a combat frenzy by releasing a Tiberium altered version of adrenaline, as a free action on their turn.
