A few fellas at the gun range I frequent tote around Civil War era rifles, and the smoke is definitely noticable. It wafts around for a bit before the wind takes care of it.But smokeless powder and Silence spell aside, the thing will have quite a flash; completely supressing the flash will mean that your rogue has technology that isn't common on most weapons today. The tech is available, but none of my guns have it. Something to do with being illegal I guess. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />The arquebus might fire a lighter, smaller projectile than a crossbow, but I'd rather have a bolt sticking out of me than have one of those soft-lead bullets hit me; when the bullet hits, it flattens out. If it hits near bone, the bone will disintegrate. Thus the many amputations in the Civil War; there were no bones left to set. Maybe make the target roll a Fort save to aviod being stunned by the impact, or something.Oh yeah, it takes a while to reload those muzzle loaders. Your player might take notes from Carribean pirates; they carried as many pistols on them as possible because it was a one-shot deal. No time to reload.</blockquote>
