Hells's Rebels character advice (Noble Scion)

[Rerednaw]

We are about start this AP and I was looking for some advice on the campaign specific Noble Scion feat.

Our group so far:
Vigilante (str)
Heavens Shaman
Witch (Patron?)
Court Bard

I decided to go with an Unchained rogue, human.
The Mint Avenger. His foci are Profession (Cook), non-lethal combat, and wielding a MW wooden soup spoon (improvised blunt weapon).

We are limited to Core content, plus Ult Equip, traits, alt race traits from ARG, and two other Paizo hard cover sources (example an Unchained, Scout, Sap Master would be 3 sources and is not allowed) and 1 soft cover source (like a People of the X book.)

Not looking for in depth spoilers. In general from a story standpoint does Noble Scion give a tie-in through several AP books? If it makes a difference I have it narrowed down to strong supporters of the big bad (Thrune.) Just have not finalized which family.

I have played and run several APs and IME the campaign feats are very hit or miss...not terribly concerned from an optimization standpoint I just want the character's story with the feat tie-in to be relevant. I certainly can easily RP w/o the feat if needs be. :)

Thanks!

If you are playing a rogue, you definitely want to be a Noble Scion of House Jarvis (You get a free roll to discover hidden doors and other architectural features when you pass within 10 feet of them, whether or not you are actively searching), the flavor ties in, and it is a really useful ability, despite the fact that it might annoy your DM that you get the rolls without actively searching. Also IIRC this (along with CotCT) is one of the most single location focused campaigns, so your noble heritage should be relevant for most of the game.

Consider asking your DM if your weapon can be mechanically a Sap, refluffed to a large wooden cooking spoon so you don't take the penalty for an improvised weapon (he will probably agree, due to the fact that you essentially just want it to be a spoon for flavor reasons).

With the nobles in Hell's Rebels you should really ask your GM as it will depend on what they plan on doing with the noble families/how much they'll be in the AP. The noble families are all mentioned to varying degrees but your GM may want to put more attention on some more than others.

They can all easily be useful depending on what the GM does with the different families.
