So I'm wondering what's the common thoughts on the concentration part of spells like witch bolt if they are twinned with metamagic? can you keep it on both targets? the twinned spell metamagic in the PHB doesn't mention anything about concentration.
Twinning a spell does not make you cast the spell twice. You cast only one spell with a twinned effect, and you can keep concentration on that one spell.
i forget where i saw it, but someone had gone through the whole spell list to figure out which metamagic applied to which spell.
If i remember correctly, Twinned can only be used on a spell that has a single target. Twinned Witch Bolt should work, as you are only casting the spell once, but modifying it to target two creatures. Concentration still applies as per -one- spell.
I normally take Twinned and Distant as my metamagics.
Twinning concentration spells is really the only strong bit IMO that sorcerers can do, effectively breaking a specific rule all other spellcasters have to follow. Twinned hold person? twinned charm person? and so on.
