I would like to try creating a custom weapon that has an actual melee attack as well as being a ranged weapon. The inspiration comes from Haseo's XTH form in dot hack g.u. where he has dual bladed pistols that can be used either up close with blades or at range with bullets. Does anyone have any ideas other than making 2(duplicate items) one with a revolver base and the other with say a dagger base? it be awesome if could have it as versatile and have one action be melee and the other being the ranged if possible
I don't believe it is possible without making some sort of concession.
You can set the base as a thrown weapon, but the range and/or damage may be off
You can set the base as a gun and "assume" it has the melee attack since those properties are easier to work around, but again, the range and/or damage may be off
You can do one of the above and create a custom action on the character sheet for the other action
You can do one of the above and add in a cantrip or custom spell to mimic the other option

Just some ideas.
