You'll have to first choose one or two <s>both</s> targets for Twin Strike <s>(targets can be same creature)</s> before doing attack rolls.It's possible to interpret "1. Choose the attack you'll use. Each attack has an attack type." as meaning Attack: line of the power, but IMHO it's pretty obvious they meant "attack power" simply because the other interpretation will make it impossible to do proper resolution of power as the Attack: line includes attack roll.I think they would have included something about Attack: line being considered before Targets: line at PHB2 218 if designers had actually meant it. But I might be wrong. But Samir's post at <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-4th-edition-rules/264012-twin-strike-question.html#post4908010" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-4th-edition-rules/264012-twin-strike-question.html#post4908010</a> uses exactly same rules as I here to argue completely different position, so it's obviously not as clear cut case as I have thought beforehand. WOTC should really use more exact language, it's annoying that they use "attack" interchangeably with :* Attack power / Utility power that has Attack: line* Attack: line in powers* Attack rollNever specifying what they actually meant.Edit:I remembered Twin Strike wording incorrectly, corrected my text to reflect this.Twin Strike:Targets: One or two creaturesAttack: Strength vs. AC (melee; main weapon and off-hand weapon) or Dexterity vs. AC (ranged), two attacks</blockquote>
