[QUOTE="RigaMortus2, post: 4409859, member: 11586"] The way I read it is, it's one attack that can hit 2 targets. You get to choose the best roll out of two d20 rolls. As for damage, you roll damage once and apply that result to both targets. Compare to how Twin Strike works, where it specifies [i]Hit: 1[W] damage [b]per attack.[/b][/i]. StT lacks "per attack", so it is clear (to me anyway) that it is just a single attack dealing x damage to 2 targets. Edit: Prestidigitalis brings up a good point. At what point during the game did the player question how this works? Was it after the damage roll was made? If so, what was the result of the first damage roll? Ask your player this: Had you rolled minimum damage, would you have applied that damage to both targets, or would you have made a 2nd damage roll for the 2nd target? Edit 2: Just to be clear what the OP is asking (because there is more than 2 options here): Regarding the Damage roll. Which is your player assuming, and which are you assuming? 1) You make 1 damage roll, apply that result to both targets. (1 roll total) 2) You make 1 damage roll for each target. (2 rolls total) 3) You make 2 damage rolls, take the best of the two rolls, and apply that damage to both targets. (2 rolls total) 4) You make 2 damage rolls for each target. Take the best of the two rolls for the first target, and apply the damage. Take the best of the two rolls for the second target, and apply the damage (4 rolls total). I'm under the impression your opinion is 3 and your player's is 1. Just want to make sure your player isn't assuming option 2, and you're not assuming option 4... [/QUOTE]
