I always pronounced it as "Like".

Well, it's actually like "rich" but with an l, so that solves that.

Stop making me want to play this. Down that path lies ruin.

Strictly speaking, "liche" is German so it'd probably be closer to Brentai's first assumption. Everyone I've ever heard use it in the D&D sense has pronounced it to rhyme with "itch" though.

It's an old british word meaning "corpse."

Honestly, I'm not sure any PvP options that entail arguing about the silly fantasy NPC names would sell me. It's your money, though.

...So it is.

Not only that but I misspelled the German word! Guess that'll learn me to check these things first!

I mean, Brentai has an excuse.  I don't expect people to know this shit off the top of your head.  (Fun social experiment: ask your mom if she knows what a Mage is and then be horrified upon realizing just how much of your common parlance is arcane goddamn jargon to most people).

I tried to use it in a Scrabble game against my parents once.  I argued up and down that it was a word, damn it, until my father pointed out that you can spell "game" without even changing the vowels.

Not making that one up.

Wrath of the Bitch King.

That was Burning Crusade, if Kael'thas and Big K'J were any indication.

I always felt bad for Kael'thas. He gets sentenced to death by a giant stereotype, accepts the only help he could feasibly get and it happens to be the third-evillest guy in the universe who loses so hard that poor old Kael has to go running to the second-evillest guy in the universe just to try and salvage the deal.

Then 25 strangers beat him up and kill him, so they stick a rock in his chest and make him a Wretched.

They even took away his good voice actor! And gave him a horrible death speech!

In stark contrast, the ending cinematic of Frozen Throne gives me a boner every time I watch it.

Bad example for me, my mom was powerleveling mages back in FF1.

So she would probably define Lich as "the earth fiend".

And Doom, I can either be happy or I can be right in a relationship. Never both.

I get it because Men are from Mars and Women are from a black hole that is slowly destroying the cosmos.

I just assumed that Wiseman rolls Feral Combat DPS, and was posting in cat form.
