Sigil pronunciation (lemmy.world)

For many years I've been pronouncing Sigil as Sij-ill, like the word sigil. Recently I read something in a post from WotC saying that it is pronounced sig-ill (hard G). This just sounded weird to me, so I am continuing to say it with a J sound. You know, like in GIF 😏

Anyway, are there any other names of things in D&D that made you go "huh?" when you heard the official pronunciation?

Geas is an interesting one. It's pronounced "gesh" but everyone I've played with pronounced it "geese"

I've said Ghee-ass this entire time.

I think it might be “gaysh”? but I’m happy to be corrected. I’d been pronouncing it “gay-us” until just recently 😂. Irish words are weird.

What!?

I've been saying "gi-ahs"…

For me its gay-ass and I do not apologise

"You have been targeted by a gay-ass spell, it compells you to go on a gay-ass quest"

Gay-Ass is a domain spell for the Oath of Throwing It Back Paladin.
