does anyone have a good source for dealing with bayonets in d&d? any precedent for crossbow bayonets? the only thing i've seen (other than the cool pic of the whisper gnome in races of stone) was the gun article in Dragon #321 and it doesn't give damage that i could see?? any info or thoughts are appreciated.
generally, treat them as non throwing short spears or maybe a short haften pole arm is applicable; spear on a xbow; but if someone mounts a boyonet on this staff so to speak; this would be very spearlike, hmm, in bayonet training we slashed with them a lot too, but the basic damage would be the same but either slash or puncture. I really dont see how you could slash or even fight effectively with a bayonet on an xbow; sounds nice, but i tried a few swings and it just isnt practical.

Dragon #349 is your meat. It's got all the bows and crossbows, including the ones with random blades and bayonets.
Or if you're too cheap to buy a book, just treat it it a dagger on the end of your crossbow ;)

Well you could do that. I went with treating the whole contraption as a spear you can't throw. I mean, Wizards of the Coast went with treating the whole contraption as a spear you can't throw. Stupid pronouns. ;D
