    Warlock of the Stonecrowns

    Nobody here will have heard of me and believe it or not, I've never
    played in a Birthright campaign. My DM insists that he won't play in
    Birhtright because he doesn't particulary like it. Any ideas on how
    to 'convert' him?

    Anyway, to the point of this message: I have a slight concern with the
    module "Warlock of the Stonecrowns."

    My problem arises from the sheer number of magical items possesed by
    the Warlock. I know that he is an Awnshegh and all, but still I find
    his number of magical items (and his derived armour class!) excessive
    for the 'low magic' Birthright Setting.

    Some will argue that he has had a long time to accumulate such a
    cache of magical might. There are numerous lines of Wizard
    regents across the continent (who are described in the various Players
    Secrets supplements) who don't even come close to such large magical
    item inventories.

    Does anybody else have thoughts on this matter?

    The published modules are ok, in the information/ideas they give, but they
    suffer from the same Monty Haul defect that most TSR modules have (though
    not nearly to the extent of some other, well-forgotten, campaign worlds I
    could mention: don't get me started. . .)
    If you think there are too many magic items in his possession, then
    eliminate or reduce the power of some (yes, this is the standard cop-out
    answer to such problems, but it is effective).
    I'd say I agreed with you, but I'm busy cataloging my magic items right
    now, and creating a index file for which treasure room and bin they are
    stored in.
    I'm up to Treasure Room D, Bin #43D: items relating to the summoning and
    control of Elementals.

    Well, he is the son of the Gorgon, which tends to hold a lot of sway over
    the humanoid tribes he rules. Chances are he has looted their caches and
    supplies to obtain for himself. Plus, as you said, he's had a long time
    to collect items. Since he has always been paranoid about his father
    (with excellent cause!), he more than likely traded less useful items for
    more powerful ones as he got older.

    Not to mention, I think the author usually writes for Forgotten Realms.
