I seem to remember this being an option in 3.5, but it might have just been a house rule in a group I was playing with. Does anybody else remember an option to add blades to a bow or crossbow in order to make it a melee weapon as well as a ranged weapon? Or was that something a group I was playing with made up?
TY again!
Their was an Upgrade to add Blades to allow melee attacks with your bow in 3e. In 3.5e there was a Bladed bow that could be used as a Two-Bladed Sword that dealt damage one size smaller.
Bayonet on a crossbow...
3.5 Magic Item book had a specific magic item referred to as a "bladed crossbow" it worked like a heavy crossbow, had d8 slashing melee damage and was considered an exotic weapon for use.
I haven't seen anything similar carried over, so unless you are in a homebrew and feel like blowing the dust off some books and begging your GM, it doesn't exist.
Cestus.
There was in one of the dragon magazines from piazo that added this to a weapon. But it has not been brought to Pathfinder.
