I'm using a DX penalty not to represent inaccurate firearms (my  
firearms are a little more recent) exactly, but to represent that bows  
are more accurate in the hands of a skilled user. I"m also thinking of  
making it that Missile Weapons cannot be applied to Guns, with the end  
effect being:
Melee Fighters are the same as always.
Archers are the accurate and silent but less powerful ranged weapon  
group.
Crossbowman are the accurate and more powerful but slower group (and  
require more strength)
Guns are the ranged group that (at the beginning) are the most  
powerful but slowest and least accurate. As time goes on they become  
as fast as Bows (or in the case of revolvers and repeating rifles,  
slightly faster but at the cost of accuracy) and as deadly as a  
crossbow, but never have the stealth of a bow or the possible accuracy  
(not allowing missile weapons keeps them from ever being as accurate  
as a skilled bowman).
Wizards are the same.
