I feel it is a little wierd going from a Class, specializing is close range stealth, suddenly becoming a master ranger or bard, using a bow the entire time.
I was thinking Rogues could adopt the use of bows, perhaps 5-6 damage per arrow? Then when people spec they can choose what they want to specialize in, Ranger/Bard, or Ninja/Thief.
But what would be so bad about giving another class a ranged advantage? In a way I see this as a somewhat needed buff.
Rogues do 7 damage with a sword, and besides, giving them a bow won't make them any more powerful, other than, if they can aim, the first strike (casters typicly get the first strike anyway).
Giving Rogues a bow won't do anything.
Where are they going to find arrows? Unless they have been playing a different class for a while.
Well, obviously, but beforehand, they need to use a sword, forcing them to try to swing their way through. Even if they dislike using swords, they need to use it for the low levels. Bows lack blocks, plus they can't use Assassin's Blade if they use a bow.
In it self, it doesn't give Rogues higher damage, they can't spawn arrows like Rangers, and they lack skills, such as Bards, such as Might or Pulse, that boosts your damage and keeps enemys at bay. Casters can snipe mobs without a problem, Rogues get a reagent costing (arrow) debuffing (you need to charge your arrow, and you move slower when you draw back) and protentialy slow ranged attack, that does as much as a stone sword. It won't make them stronger.
