Is "Justiciar" the new "Rogue?"

I'm probably killing all pronunciation rules to death, but I would assume that Justicar would be pronounced approximately "Jus-tee-car" instead. I'm not really sure where the first "a" comes from in your proposed pronunciation.

You are correct, actually. I was going to bring that up.

Technically, it's not an "a" in the middle of "justacar", it's a schwa.

What did you just call me?

Ah, that's it what ArmoredSaint meant. And I agree that Just-ə-car doesn't sound right.

 

[Sojorn]

Amazingly, my entire gaming subgroup knows it as "Justicar" and pronounces it "Just-a-car".

Blame White Wolf for that. I don't think I could change it at this point with a 2x4. We've all been saying it wrong for years. :O

 

[Fifth Element]

I was being facetious.

Indeed. As was I.

Correct. Now tell me how you pronounce "brujah."

Actually, ci=ch in Medieval (or Ecclesiastical) Latin.

Justiciar should be pronounced "Yus-titch-iar" though.

I pronounce it Juice-tih-kar. It's just so much more awesome than Just-issy-are. It sounds like an actual title, rather than a silly twist of 'justice'.

I prefer Justicar too, it sounds more "powerful" and it's a better fantasy term IMO.

No way.
