I'd like a crossbow that has blades on either end of the bow and as such can be used as a melee or ranged weapon, preferably comng in light and heavy varieties.

{table=head]|Dmg (s)|Dmg (m)|critical|Range increment|weight|type|
Heavy Bladebow|d8/d4|d10/d6|19-20/x2|100 ft|10 lb|piercing
LightBladebow|d6/d3|d8/d4|19-20/x2|5 lb|60 ft|piercing[/table]

Bladebows function as crossbows, but come equipped with serrated blades, allowing them to be used as melee weapons. The second entry in the damage column shows the damage when the weapon is used in melee. The blades, however, interfere slightly with the action of the bow, reducing the effective range.

Bladebows are martial weapons.
