[QUOTE="thegreatbuddha, post: 484546, member: 8595"] Connecticut is not an English word, so it makes sense that it does not follow archetypal English pronunciation. As to my shot at pronouncing the names, here goes: Tenser "TEN sir" Nystul "NIS tul" (rhymes with pistol) Tasha "TA -sha" (vowel sound same as "stop" for both syllables) Melf "MELF" (rhymes with elf) Leomund "LEE o mund" (like Sea boat under) Evard "i vard" (like in dark) Otiluke "O ti luke" (can't think of a good phonetic aid there, sorry) Rary "RARE EE" Mordenkainen MORE den KIGH NEN (like more then high end) Bigby BIG bee Drawmij Draw midge (like draw fridge) I hope that helped, and if my attempt to aid your enunciation with common English words didn't help in and of itself, you can at least run them through an online dictionary to guide yourself to the proper enunciation.
