Homebrew Dworc Species Details
Dworcs are almost always raised by their dwarf parents - that is, if their orc parents don't kill them first. They look like orcs, but have the height, hair color, and skin color of dwarves. If it weren't for the face and tusks, it would be difficult to tell a dworc apart from it's dwarf brethren.

Posted Apr 3, 2021I love this! I added an Orc-Dwarf to a campaign and called it a Dworc. Then I realized someone must have homebrewed the race. Very cool!
