If you have GM Scenarios for a character that you have yet to play, when you finally start playing the character can you pick feats/traits/etc that were not available when you did your first DM scenario for them? Specifically I'm inquiring about Magical Knack, but it could I guess apply to anything new book wise.
You have to start at level one and work your way up, just as if you had played the character. You MUST qualify for each feat/whatever at the level you would take it as; so you couldn't, as a first level rogue, take Weapon Focus, as it requires +1 Base Attack Bonus; you would have to use an option granted at level two or higher to take it.
That said, Magical Knack says "pick a class when you gain this trait". It does NOT say "pick a class you have" or "pick one of your spellcasting classes", so you don't actually HAVE any levels of that class when you take it.
EDIT: What books were out/you had access to at the time you GM'd the sessions is irrelevant; as Mike Brock has stated, "GM credit babies" don't need to have stats until they're actually played.
