A Gnome Gunslinger with a Long Rifle in Dungeons & Dragons is a small but deadly sharpshooter who blends mechanical ingenuity with deadly precision. Typically using a homebrew Gunslinger class or subclass, this character wields a long rifle, a powerful firearm that delivers devastating ranged attacks with high accuracy and damage. Gnomes, known for their intellect and craftsmanship, are natural Gunslingers, excelling at tinkering with firearms, crafting specialized ammunition, and enhancing their weapons with custom modifications.

A Gnome Gunslinger relies on Dexterity for precise shots and Intelligence for mechanical expertise, often combining engineering skills with trick shots and tactical positioning. Their small stature makes them harder to hit, and their natural Gnomish cunning grants them resistance to certain magical effects. Some variations incorporate Artificer levels to enhance their weapon with magical infusions, creating a hybrid of technology and arcane power.

With a long rifle, the Gnome Gunslinger dominates long-range combat, staying far from danger while picking off foes with deadly accuracy. The weapon’s high damage potential is balanced by a slower reload speed, requiring careful resource management. Trick shots, such as disarming foes or piercing armor, add versatility to their playstyle. Some versions introduce misfire mechanics, where a poorly maintained rifle can jam, adding risk to high-powered shots.

In a roleplaying sense, a Gnome Gunslinger might be a brilliant inventor, an ex-military marksman, or an eccentric bounty hunter. Their personality is often colorful, driven by curiosity, adventure, or revenge. Whether playing in a steampunk setting or a high-fantasy world, they bring a unique flavor to a campaign, mixing advanced weaponry with classic D&D charm. Their small size and massive firepower make them a force to be reckoned with, proving that in the right hands, even the tiniest warrior can be the deadliest shot.
