How do you pronounce "Asmodeus"

[Bladesong]

As' mo-de' us

Five different sources; all show it as above, all short vowels (no long), two accentuated syllables with 'de' being the stronger of the two.

This is just the correct one, but you can pronounce it any way you like in your own game.

 

[Turanil]

Fortunately, so far nobody has said the name three times in a row...

 

[Faraer]

As a bonus, it sounds much cooler when singing "Rock Me Asmodeus"!

Wow, I'm remembering now. Did he ever release that version?

 

[shadewest]

Rock me az-mo-DAY-us.

Although, I think that it's more correct to pronounce it oz-mo-DAY-oos.

I think its time to consult: WIKIPEDIA!!!

Asmodeus is also the name of a band.

I chose 'other'.

oz-MOE-dee-us.

Though I think that 'oz-moe-DAY-us' sounds pretty cool too.

I believe either one of these could pass for a Texas drawl version as well.
The second does sound more deep south though.

First the eladrin thread, and now this. What the hell is wrong with Americans?

(EL-ah-drin, az-mo-DAY-us.)
