Unlike bows, crossbows require less skill to use and should indeed be useable by any class. They should have a lowish cap to attack speed though. All weapons should be restricted by attribute requirements and not by class. However only staves and wands should be able to add their stats to magic and they also should have pathetic physical attack stats. Enemy rogues already wield big hammers and maces, there should be no problem with player rogues doing likewise…if they meet the strength requirements. And if they did they should be pretty lackluster in the other aspects of the rogue craft as attribute points are finite.
