Cursed Monster

You were once a great and terrible monster, laying waste to anything that opposed you. Your might was challenged only by the occasional foolish adventurer, who would stand no match to you and your followers. However, as defeat became increasingly less likely, your enemies turned to new, more creative ways to end your tyranny. They have cursed you, taking from you your monstrous form and powers, leaving you as weak and pathetic as any other worthless humanoid filth. Now, without your hordes, treasure, or physical might, you must venture on a new path to take revenge, remove this curse, or find a new life among those you once terrorized.

Skill Proficiencies: Your former terror has not completely left you, nor has the knowledge of you life before your curse. You gain proficiency in Intimidation and Survival.

Tool Proficiencies: Lordship over lesser creatures doesn't get handed to just any beast. You have skills that have helped you rule your armies, or torture your enemies.You gain proficiency in smith's tools, alchemist supplies, or navigator's tools.

Languages: You retain whatever language you spoke in your past life. You gain one language of your choice.

Equipment: You retain an item from your time as a monstrous tyrant, such as a jewel from your old hoard, an old trophy, or a component from the spell that cursed you. You also have a dungeoneer's pack, traveler's clothes, and a pouch containing 5 gold.
