Description	Two devastating strikes in rapid succession each inflict an automatic critical hit. Find Vitals adds additional damage to each hit. If the target is affected by Low Blow, it cannot move for a short time.

Twin Strikes is a rogue and warrior talent from the Twin Strikes tree in Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening.

Notes

• Activation base is in stamina and values vary with fatigue%.
• With Find Vitals, each hit also inflicts bleeding damage equal to 2/3 of the initial damage, which is applied over 5 seconds.
• If the target is already under the effect of Low Blow, Twin Strikes will immobilize it with a "draining" effect type, like Crushing Prison would, meaning the target cannot make any action. This effect does not allow a resistance check, and can be applied by either hit of Twin Strikes.
• Despite the animation, both hits are made with the main hand. This can be corrected per unofficial patch.
