A dog named Rover is seen in the afterlife. It's a very lighthearted joke and not likely to trigger anything, but still worth mentioning.

Due to Vaarsuvius's gender ambiguity, people regularly interchange with both he and she pronouns. Vaarsuvius isn't phased by this, or ever calls attention to it, so it may not technically be misgendering, but still something to be aware of.

The most egregious example is that Belkar gets cursed and vomits quite a bit, particularly in strip 569, as well as on strips 570, 576 and 602, but they're only 1-2 panel ordeals and not as bad as 569. The second half of strip 430 also involves Roy vomiting on someone from above due to motion sickness.

Illusion magic is used a few times to fool characters. There are also "tears in the fabric of reality" that threaten to destroy the world. However, this is treated as more of a grandiose threat to end the world rather than a mind-bending reality warp.

Depending on your definition of the term, the entire mini-arc with the Belt of Gender Changing could be considering an elongated version of this. It's not particularly tasteful but not egregiously offensive either, though I would skim this whole bit personally, or skip it entirely if you so choose, since its not too important to the lore.
