Trying to get your physical content on Beyond is like going to Microsoft and saying "I have a physical Playstation disk, give me a digital Xbox version!"
Your pronunciation in D&D: However you wanna. It's fiction, not fact. 'Tiffies didn't exist as 'Tiffies in the medieval setting, the primary foundation of the 5e setting. (Singular, 'Tiffy.)
That would be like demanding Corazón (a good pyrate name) to be pronounced Cor-ahd-zōn to be medieval-ly accurate. Nobody's gonna do that. It'll be Cor-ah-sōn or Cor-ah-thōn depending on where you are.
D&D might have been built on this side of the Pond, but Common is whatever language you natively speak, not American English. If Art-if-ice-er feels right to you, do it.

Human. Male. Possibly. Don't be a divider. My characters' backgrounds are written like instruction manuals rather than stories. My opinion and preferences don't mean you're wrong. I am 99.7603% convinced that the digital dice are messing with me. I roll high when nobody's looking and low when anyone else can see.🎲 “It's a bit early to be thinking about an epitaph. No?” will be my epitaph.
I have heard this class pronounced two different ways. Which way should we be saying it?
Art-if-ice-er
I don't know why, but I struggle with this pronunciation too! I'm a Brit for context.
I want to say Art-e-fie-sir even though I *think* the correct way to say it is Ar-tif-e-sur.
Ar-tif-es-ur

I pronounce it arty-fy-cer because I pronounce the word artificifial like arty-fysh-el.

Nothing from your poll.
Its properly pronounced Ar-ti-fe-ser. It is a real word with a real world meaning outside of DnD. Could have just googled it.
Actual pronunciation IRL: Ar-tih-fuh-ser

Those words all rhyme, to me. IOW, it's /ART ih fie ser/ ...
