I've been thinking about how guns are going to work in the HB setting I am working on. I want to set them apart from bows and crossbows, which if I remember correctly they aren't too different in d20 modern, and I hit on the idea of making them ranged touch attacks. This appears to give them the power that they had during their historical ascendence, namely making armor redundant. Of course this makes guns very powerful when compared to other weapon types.
To counter this I figured making all guns exotic weapons, plus a high cost might be sufficient. Perhaps even giving guns a straight -2 to hit, early guns being inaccurate.
