Is twinned spell worth it in 5e?

Yes, Twinned Spell is generally considered worth it in D&D 5e for Sorcerers, especially with the original rules, as it significantly boosts action economy and spell efficiency, allowing two powerful single-target effects (like buffs or control spells) for one spell slot and Sorcery Points, though its power and perceived necessity have shifted with revised versions (like One D&D). It's fantastic for making single-target spells like Haste, Polymorph, or Banishment affect two targets, effectively doubling their impact or allowing concurrent buffs/debuffs, though newer rules limit it more to spells not inherently designed to hit multiple creatures.
