Ironforge dwarves have a strong tradition of firearms proficiency. In particular, they focus on the long rifle and the blunderbuss. Dwarven riflemen were valuable assets in the Third War, able to pick off vulnerable and important targets from behind their own lines. Honed senses allow these skilled dwarves to detect when their equipment is likely to break down on them, and they have a certain ability to quickly clear a jam so they can get back to fightin'.

Dwarf sharpshooters use the warrior class, except that they give up the warrior bonus feat at 1st, 6th, and 12th level in return for the features below. They still gain a bonus feat at 2nd level and at 4th, 8th, 10th, 14th, 16th, 18th, and 20th level. These bonus feats must be drawn from the feats noted as warrior bonus feats.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A dwarf sharpshooter is proficient with all simple and martial weapons and with all armor (heavy, medium and light) and shields (including tower shields).

Bonus Feats: At 2nd level, and at 4th, 8th, 10th, 14th, 16th, 18th, and 20th level, the dwarf sharpshooter gains a bonus combat-oriented feat. She does not gain the warrior bonus feat at 1st, 6th, or 12th level. These bonus feats must be drawn from the feats noted as warrior bonus feats. A dwarf sharpshooter must still meet all prerequisites for a bonus feat.

Firearm Focus (Ex): At 1st level, the dwarf sharpshooter is skilled with all firearms. She gains Weapon Focus with the flintlock pistol and the long rifle. This replaces the warrior bonus feat at 1st level.

Avoid Misfire (Ex): At 6th level, to avoid a catastrophic malfunction with a technological weapon (according to the "When Good Weapons Go Bad" sidebar in Weapons and Armor of the World of Warcraft RPG), the dwarf sharpshooter can reroll the second roll. If the GM is not using this optional rule, the dwarf sharpshooter gains a bonus feat at this level, as a warrior would. This replaces the warrior bonus feat at 6th level.

Clear Jam (Ex): At 12th level, when a technological weapon malfunctions in the hands of the dwarf sharpshooter, she immediately recognizes the problem and solves it. The weapon is ready to fire again, as normal, in the next round. This replaces the warrior bonus feat at 12th level.
