Twin strike=2 magic missiles?

[phil500]

Can a wizard multi into ranger (the paragon way), pick up twin strike as his at-will, hold a bow to meet the twin strike's condition, and use it to shoot 2 magic missiles?

MM says it can replace a basic ranged attack. Doesnt twin strike let you make 2 ranged basic attacks?

The holding the bow part... seems pretty cheesy and against the obvious intent.

No.

It does not let you make 2 ranged basic attacks.

It would explicitly say so, if it did.

Are we talking about the Twin Strike Ranger Attack 1 At-Will?

Because I don't see where it even implies that it allows you to make two basic attacks.

It lets you make either two Str vs. AC melee attacks (main and off-hand weapon) or two Dex vs. AC ranged attacks, each dealing 1[W] damage.

Twin strike has it's own to hit and damage so I would say, functionally, no. Flavor-wise though, I'd be okay with the multiclasser firing arrows of (non-force) magical energy (that function the same as a regular arrow). I'd even allow it to not use ammo, since ammo really doesn't balance much, if anything (aside from perhaps a sense of versimilitude).

Hm, Arcane archer, anyone? Bow as implement alá Wizard of the Spiral Tower?
