Noticed the NPC being called "an orc brave." Please don't use the word "brave" as a noun to describe an indigenous-type warrior. It's derogatory to Native Americans (and more so to liken them to a monstrous creature, even though I know that was not the intent).
And I once, in a professional capacity, had to tell James Jacobs the same thing, so it isn't always well known. :) But I'd appreciate it.

A very good observation. Thank you for the insight. I will be more mindful of my language in the future.
Reminds me of how I've come to really regret the first story I ever got published because of how ableist it was in hindsight.
