[QUOTE="Salthorae, post: 7908939, member: 1095"] I posit that if you had a chance to sit down with Mr. Crawford and discuss this spell he would give a very well reason and thoughtful discussion. But he's a busy person. The fact that he responds to twitter questions at all is a bonus to people, not a requirement that we should deride him for when he doesn't give us pages of the reasoning behind his responses. Or even when those responses might sometimes contradict previous responses in the heat of response. It just shows he's human. You're not bending any rules. Why does it matter if there are two beams or not? The spell is twinned. It effects two targets. That's what the rules say. Beyond that, do whatever you want. Roll the attack once. Roll it twice. Roll damage once. Roll it twice. Fluff it however you want for your games. The rules don't speak to that [B]and they don't need to[/B]. All they need to say is "it effects two targets". That's the beauty of 5e. Not everything has to be explicitly spelled out in a rule somewhere. You mean like... some special ability, that was super rare, and very restricted in it's daily usage... Like, say... one of the [B]4 metamagic [/B]options that a sorcerer can select through 20 levels of play that they can only use or activate a limited amount of times per day based on the number of sorcery points they have left?
