Meaning if you are trying to sneak attack a guard and not have his buddy beside him notice till you go to kill him too,... Then a gun likely isn't your best choice.Higher damage, so you roll 2 dice rather than 1. What is complicated about that?Slower reload, so you take two full round actions to reload it rather than 1 with the heavy crossbow. Not to be insulting or anything, but is counting to 2 really that hard for a Pen and Paper player? I would have thought we had to be a little better at math than that to actually play the game in the first place.Hard to find ammo? If you care about counting arrows and bolts to start with, then harder to find ammo just means that you might have to hunt around for it, and your average little village in the middle of the woods might not have any for you to buy.Dealing with smoke? How is this any harder to deal with than already existing spells that do the exact same thing, but on larger scales?Add in a rule for it doubling as a melee weapon: You have 2 weapons, and one can be drawn instantly if the other is currently held. You roll 2d10 when you use one, and a 1d8 when you use the other. Not exactly harder than a fighter who happens to carry a bow and a long sword.</blockquote>
