[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7877939, member: 996"] Proliferation of firearms would hurt the rabble a lot when disciplined troops cleared the streets with musket volleys and grape shot, even if it might help get the rabble going because of the little training it requires to use a gun. This is 5e, and magic isn't the most important thing, it's the only important thing. Of course, the side that gets the most or most-powerful magic working for it will most likely come out on top, it's no less true for the guards being snuck past invisibly, commanded by a shape-changed imposter, or mind-controlled outright being armed with muskets or breach-loaders or even early repeating firearms rather than crossbows. The rising tide of human desperation that led to the revolutions would sure be fertile ground for any supernatural entities peddling Pacts, yes. The establishment, then, would natural side with whatever Church-equivalent can provide Paladins &c to exterminate the resulting plague of Warlocks. [/QUOTE]
