    Definitely Plow.
    Oh-tee-ug for sure...
    And I've always pronounced it Litch.

    And what about Duergar?
    Is it Du-ER-gar, or Du-AIR-gar?

    I say Du-ER-gar.

    Wow, this topic has been an education. I've pronounced lich as "litch" and drow as rhyming with "plow". I've never bothered pronouncing those other two, as in "Hey guys, we just ran into one of those ceiling thingy's. How about my favorite arch devil Asmodeus: Is is Asmodeus (As-mo-day-oos) or Asmodeus (As-mo-dee-oos)?

    Well, 'duergar' is probably a loan from Old Norse; 'dvergar' = 'dwarves'. I just use the "Norse" pronunciation :).

    [​IMG] I've always said...

    nuh-RIDE
    DWAIR-gar
    az-mo-DAY-us (like Amadeus, but with horns)

    How about:
    Sahuagin (Suh-WOG-in? Swa-GEEN? SAH-wuh-gin)
    Couatl (KWAT-ul? Since this is an actual Aztec word, I'm sure pronunciation could be looked up. But dictionary all the way on other side of room. Sigh So far...)
    Ixitxachitl (iz-it-ZATCH-itul? Like "is it magical?")
    Hakeashar (From "Summon Hakeashar" spell)

    It looks like a German/Yiddish word to me, so I pronounced it much differently.

    Li (just like normal)
    ch (real hard stress on it, almost a 'k' sound)

    Lich me!
    as in
    Lick me in the motherfu...

    In an adventure on my computer I once saw the word lich spelled litch and figuring the creator of this adventure either didnt know how to spell it or got sick of you leeches. Anyhow I ever since said lich as in bitch.
