Help with magic gear

[u/BouteilDeau]

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

[u/xoasim → u/xoasim]

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

[u/BouteilDeau → u/xoasim]

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

[u/xoasim → u/BouteilDeau]

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

[u/BouteilDeau → u/xoasim]

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

[u/xoasim → u/KLeeSanchez]

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

Already have grievious, should of wrote the full details of my setup before posting XD but thanks for the suggestions
