They would add a fixed bonus to other attacks.

Re: Spikes and blades...
I would be....leery of using some sort of 'if your x long you do y damage' especially for stuff like armor spikes. I find a flat small bonus (I usually just go with 1d4 for simplicity) is fairly sufficient. For traps and the like I just use weapon damage for a weapon similar to the one used. (small spikes? its a knife big huge ones long sword time)
The rules are not a bludgeon with which to hammer a character into a game. They are a guide to how a group of friends can get together to weave a collective story that entertains everyone involved. We forget that at our peril.

Re: Spikes and blades...
We are trying to do new stuff for our new game world. The Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Alchemist's Dungeon was a HUGE hit! Everyone enjoyed it.
Plus my solo game has started. I will be doing a bit of character's log on here later on in the week or next. I have to get off of here and send some Reiki.
