Preview of the new D&D COmic!

[Jack99]

Will the Gen Con issue be available on iPad as well?

So I read issue #1. I liked it a lot until I got to the end where they give us adric's character sheet. They did him up as a knight instead of a warlord which I don't mind too much except the author flat out said he was a warlord. Then there is the fact that the guy has a 26 ac At 7th level while wearing only +2 chain and a +2 light shield (I kid you not!). Seriously though if they want to promote essentials they need to do it right instead of printing incorrect stats.

Is there any way to get the comics on something other than dead tree or iPad?

Looks like the comic isn't available at the IDW Comixology store: IDW items for the Week of November 17, 2010 - comiXology

..and I take it the comixology is the e-version? Bugger no way for me to get it with the postage more than the items!

Comixology is a website that offers e-Versions of many comics. They have a website and an iPad/iPhone app. Many publishers have signed with them, including IDW and DC.

I was a bit wary of a new D&D comic, but I have to say that D&D #1 has the most awesome opening page of just about any comic I've read, and I loved it. ^_^

They didn't really say light shield +2, did they?

Yes.

"+2 Vicious Saber
+2 Chainmail
+2 Light Shield"

Plus Gauntlets of Blood and Belt of Vigor.
Feat-wise, Improved Defenses (which increase his NADs by 1) and Heavy Blade Expertise (which gives him +2 vs. opportunity attacks).

The only way can get him to a 26 ac is if I use both 4th edition and 3.5 thinking. 10 +9 ac ( feymail +2 ) +3 (+2 light shield) +3 (level/2) +1 (+1 dex mod)= 26

Anyone else have a better explanation?
