Quick note: fireball does not target a creature, it targets an area

[Calpsotoma]

I agree. The spell gives 1 creature a breath weapon. It targets 1 creature, there's nothing else to say.

[mrbean]

Our DM also disregarded Crawford's ruling on dragon's breath. And my storm sorcerer did rejoice.

[maddukex]

At the end of the day, the DM can alter any rule he likes if he believes it's for the best.

[Konpekikaminari]

This is less "sorcerer makes no sense" and more "why in 7 hells are we singling out this one particular buff?"

[greatjagras]

People need to understand; Crawford does not implement rules anymore. What he says may be what was intended, but not actually what's in the book. His rules are non canon

[benjaminkingsley-jones]

Here’s something else that’s kind of dumb:

Eldritch blast can be twinspelled… unless you’re level 5+

The idea of a sorcerer technically losing an ability due to becoming more powerful is just a little funny to me.

[xuklysc]

I have to say, though, that (according to Crawford) you can't, in fact, twin firebolt, since it has the ability to target an object

[lordmars]

Crawford is always overruled by your DM. He's also too obsessed with elves which makes his words worth even less.

[WillTea]

Me who immediately goes for subtle spell to cast stinking cloud: "aww who farted?"

[kyriosxx]

My man actually pulled out a clip from a cinematic from that game that got sued by league, didn't expect that lmao

[sirgideonofnir]

Almost every yltime Crawford makes a statement.
"Yeah ill ignore that"

[YurgenGrimwood]

As long as you can feasibly imagine two instances of a spell being cast simultaneously, I say why not?

[ShadowFan]

I am living for the RuneScape music in the background ❤

[fobbles_]

Y’all haven’t lived till you’ve twin spelled disintegrate

[ghostmatrix]

For nostalgic reasons, your choice of background music is therapeutic. Lumbridge for the win

[Nintardo]

I had the same discussion about ice knife. While yes the cold explosion can affect multiple targets, the spell itself specifically says that you "target one creature" with the actual knife.

[Ervo]

For area of effect I would make it to double the area with twinned spell instead of casting the spell twice
It has sense, it has utility, you're allowing more interactions and it has the same damage output, only an increasing range
For example, Healing Circle (I think that's the name) with twinned spell would allow you to create a larger area to fit more people inside, instead of doubling the effect and therefore healing more than intended

[shaylic]

Twinned Mind Sliver into quickened banishment upcast to target both creatures you mind sliver has been one of my favorites to take people out of fights. I’ve also been stacking bane and mind sliver and man debuffing is fun.

[skullsquad]

I let Twinned Spell work on ANY spell.
It's never broken my game and seems fair considering the amount of Sorcerer Points they get.
