[QUOTE="Ridley's Cohort, post: 616297, member: 545"] Unfortunately your line of thinking relies on a straightforwardness the rules are definitively lacking. Under the core rules as written is [i]was[/i] unambiguous that an attack with a three shuriken using one attack action could generate three separate sneak attacks. That has been officially errataed as against he [b]intent[/b] of the rules. Again, here we have one attack action (casting of the spell) generates two separate attacks. So all I can say is that if it walks like a shuriken and talks like a shuriken, it probably is just like a shuriken. It appears to against the intent of the rules to allows two SAs for one Twinned spell [i]even if the letter of the law suggests otherwise[/i]. Bringing in vague arguments relating Twinning to Quickening is not very illuminating. Even if these arguments had technical merit, the fact that free actions are explicitly regulated by DM fiat for balance and common sense reasons as well as a "one quicken spell per round" rule of thumb proves you are building on a foundation of quicksand.
