[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8743274, member: 2629"] Let's break it down. A circular fireball covers 44 squares with a 20 foot radius and a square fireball covers 64. Double those to get 88 squares and 128 squares if we twinned it and did not allow overlap to deal double damage. A circular 30 foot radius fireball covers 96 squares, and a square one cover 144 squares. We get more area covered with less precision than with a pair of fireballs, but increasing the radius by 10 feet is fairly comparable. What level spell would you make a fireball that had a radius of 30 feet instead of 20 feet? Circle of Death raises the radius to 60 feet while changing the damage type to something slightly less resisted. That 60 foot radius is 384 squares in a circular casting and 576 in a square casting. For three spell levels you increase the size of the spell to over 850% of the area of a fireball. Should doubling it be 1 level or 2? I'd argue 1 - so a 4th level spell. How many sorcerery points would you charge to create a metamagic that increases the radius of spells by 50%? I'd charge 1 SP per spell level. I don't think this breaks the game. I'd be happy to hand a magic item to a sorcerer that allowed them to twin any spell. Just make the rule that no target can be impacted twice by the twinned spell and I think it is fine. [/QUOTE]
