I'll give you rundown how Twin Strike (quoted below) should be read/resolved in my opinion as per PHB 269:Twin StrikeAt-Will   <img src="http://www.wizards.com/dndinsider/compendium/images/bullet.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />     Martial, WeaponStandard Action      Melee or Ranged weaponRequirement: You must be wielding two melee weapons or a ranged weapon.Targets: One or two creaturesAttack: Strength vs. AC (melee; main weapon and off-hand weapon) or Dexterity vs. AC (ranged), two attacksTechnically the vs. AC part of the Attack: line is resolved here.Hit: 1[W] damage per attack.Increase damage to 2[W] at 21st level.In-play example with Ranger: 1. Ranger decides to use Twin Strike. (Requirements for power are fullfilled.)2a. Ranger picks his targets, Orc A and Orc B. (Targets are valid.)2b. Ranger picks Orc A as his only target. (Target is valid)3. Ranger makes two attack rolls. (IMO this is what the "two attacks" in Twin Strike really means).  His total is 21 for first roll (Orc A) and 19 for second roll (a:Orc B, b: Orc A again)4. Poor Orcs have only AC of 18, both attacks hit. 5. Ranger rolls damage separately for attacks. Damage from both attacks is taken simultaneusly.</blockquote>
