I'm not sure I would call a "general guide to the sequence" an "explicit and specific order." It says it's the order in which the "power's various effects" occur. The Target: line isn't one of the power's "various effects" any more than the Keywords are. It's a descriptive phrase, not an effect to be applied in a specific order.The Special: line always appears at the very end of the power, as corroborated by this section in PHB2. Does this mean that anything listed under Special isn't considered until after the Attacks and Effects are resolved? Of course not.Now let's go back to PHB1 for a sec.Pg. 270:So Twin Strike is two separate attacks, each with its own attack roll and damage roll. Now how do we make each of these attacks?Pg. 269:So for each attack in Twin Strike, you choose a target, make an attack roll, and deal damage. There are two attacks, so you do this process twice. Hence, you choose your target at the start of each attack, not at the immediate moment when you use the power.IIRC, post PHB2 CS agreed with this interpretation.</blockquote>
