I've never heard anyone pronounce it lick. I always thought the pronunciation question was between litch and liche, like a quiche.
just realized I have no idea how to pronounce quiche
don't think it's a very popular food in USA, is it?

Quiche is pronounced with a "sh" sound tho, where-as I've always heard "lich" with an "itch" sound, except for one game that pronounced it "likh" (original sin 2 I think?).

From an English perspective Litch makes the most sense, I guess. However, the question was how do I pronounce it and I pronounce it in a German manner with the typical way the ch- consonant cluster is pronounced in German.
If you want to hear it just google something like "pronunciation german Ich" and then imagine an L at the beginning.

What did the Dreadlord in Secret of the Silver Blades say when asked how to pronounce lich?





Nothing!

Because our party's cleric cast Silence 15' Radius on himself, and then moved next to the Dreadlord, thus preventing the lich from casting any magic.

He's actually immune to the spell, just very socially awkward and not used to having someone standing so close.
