    Bow strength is based on DEX. Sword strength is based on STR. Which would this weapon be based on? DEX to be usable for archers/sins? Or STR to be usable for BMs?

    As well, what classes WOULD be able to use this? Class-specific? Who would have skills for it? How would you keep this from becoming completely OP?

    Hmmm well the long range damage from it could be based off of dex & the blade part of it can be based off of str would be a 2 handed blade/bow. wut i posted is wut my friend came up with so far. Personally would be fun to have this type of wep idk could be handy for archers if a mob gets up close slash the **** out of it or kite lol ,but the more details my friend comes up with the more stuff i will post about itb:victory

    You can already achieve this with an Assassin. Just equip a bow, then use daggers when the target is within melee range. Since both weapons have damage based off of Dex, you will do full damage both ranged and melee.

    You can also consider Magic weapons to be an all-in-one weapon. It has both Ranged and Melee damage.

    If they ever did come out with a all-in-one weapon like to described, the damage would have to be reduced for it not to be overpowered.

    But if that was the case, then a Bow would perfectly fit that description since it technically deals ranged and "melee" damage [with damage reduction].
