Looking for ways to boost initiative.


Advice


I've already taken improved initiative, as well as the reactionary trait, and my dex is as high as humanely possible.

Beyond those things, what other methods are there? magic items, or the like?

A magic item would be preferable, since I want to always have the iniative bonus. Can't always prepare for an initiative roll, after all!


I believe getting bonus initiative Without getting into specific classes can be a bit tricky.

But there is this

and then use the cracked version.


or a weapon with the dueling property

A Compsognathus familiar or Greensting Scorpion familiar will get you +4 initiative. Levels in Wizard (or VMC Wizard) with the Divination school get you +1/2 per level.
