[QUOTE="Cadmius Clairmonte, post: 7615080, member: 6998011"] I've heard about Sorlock and twinning eldritch blast before, but wouldn't twinning it mean you need to have a second target? PHB 102: "...you can spend a number of sorcery points equal to the spell's level to target a [B]second[/B] creature in range with the same spell." I also read somewhere that twinning eldritch blast would only create an extra missile, not give an entirely new casting of it with say 3 more missiles at level 11. Perhaps I saw it in a sage advice or something. Anyways, it's still a cool build and I do love the darkness spell, it's one of my favorites.
