Racial Epithets for D&D
As a DM, or player, you might want to play a character that is not so open-minded about the people around them. When you live in a world of interracial war and tribes of Orcs pillaging towns, it’s not surprising that some violent language may evolve. It can be difficult to come up with these words on your own. Here’s a few ideas! Read the threads here and here.
