[QUOTE="Derren, post: 6306591, member: 2518"] Gun swords actually existed (ok, more like gun daggers...). Although, gun clubs (or guns that can be used as clubs) were more common. I have even seen a gun handaxe. The problem with modifications is that, if a modification existed which improved fighting power my a lot then it would have been so widely used that it would be its own weapon. The only thing left to play with are quality levels, especially as the combat resolution of D&D is too simple to account for minor changes in weapon performances (slightly more penetration for a little less damage) or for utility modifications like (better) water sealed bowstrings and stuff like that. What you can do is to reduce the different weapon types to the basic ones and make the features of more advanced weapons a modification. A halberd is a spear with the axe head and hook modification, etc. [/QUOTE]
