Lesser Scion

Being the disinherited youngest child of a minor noble house still carries a title's quiet respect while riding toward a cousin's charity.

Granted Features
Automatic:
Noble bearing precedes you, so strangers assume rank on sight, and playing the part of nobility comes easier for it.
Negotiation and flattery open doors in social encounters, letting a character pry loose information or win over a wary contact.

You are the youngest child in a noble house (in Cheliax, Isger, or Andoran) and stand to inherit nothing from your family. Although you have a minor title, it affords you no lands or wealth, but it has garnered you a small amount of respect and deference in your travels. When play begins, you are riding in a caravan bound for Almas, where a cousin has promised to allow you to stay with them for a month.
