Is it pronounced 'lich', 'lick' or 'like'?

According to the OED I think it is pronounced "litch", to rhyme with "witch"

Dooms is correct, the correct phonetical pronunciation is "Litch". However, the word "lichen" (the plant) is pronounced "Like-en", for contrast.

That's sort of unfortunate. I was going to mention all the items 'of Taint' I was getting from a particular set of liches, and compare them to the drops from the new liches in Balzack . But this pronunciation of lich, for some inexplicable reason, somehow ruins the debate over which is better, the Taint lich or the Balzack lich.

Oh well...

LMAO!

Clever.
For me it is definitely the taint variety, although I imagine the ladies might have a different preference.
