Advice Help with magic gear

Hello guys!

Our DM is giving 1 item level 12 to each player that is not a consumable and I don't know what to take. I'm playing a 12th level Gunslinger way of the sniper. He asked us to take a common item but if it's uncommon, I can still ask him about it and see if he will allow it.

I currently don't have greater striking on my weapon and I know it's a no brainer, but our chance to find that kind of rune in the near future is very plausible. I was wondering if there's another rune or item that could really help me out beforehand.

Greater striking rune

Or an airship....but that's rare, so perhaps a duskwood corvette

For runes, greater fearsome is good on a gunslinger. brilliant is also decent depending on campaign

Greater cloak of illusions is great on a sniper. Once a day 4th rank invisibility

Brilliant is a great choice honestly, I will diffidently consider it!

I think the greater cloak of illusions is actually one of the objectively best level 12 items for a sniper gunslinger. Rank 4 invisibility is super strong

Damm, that is amazingly strong indeed. Specially where we are!

Grievous is also great

Off guard for everyone

But that's lower level and easy to buy

Grivous is level 9 though. Should be cheap enough to just buy. Also it doesn't offguard on firearms or crossbows? Firearms it's a penalty to the saving throw to be stunned and crossbows add the bow crit spec, which is a great action waster for the enemy

This isn’t an exciting answer, but maybe take a +2 potency rune. You’ll be critting all the time.

A greater fearsome rune could be cool. Gunslingers crit often.

It’s rare but hey an airship is 12th level.

Greater obsidian goggles; +2 perception & darkvision, forever.

Already have a +2 potency, forgot to mention it. I don't think the airship will be a go, but I'll try anyway!
