The event_technology_bloodline_01 bloodline has the flag bloodline_wandering_artists which allows HF.24236 (in \Crusader Kings II\events\HF_bloodline_events.txt) to fire. However the scholars and mystics generated by this event can have multiple Learning education traits.

I've attached a save of my current game and a screenshot of the bug.

I've tested this using the console (see StR below) and I found it be present in around 8/10 cases. Which means the game is rolling for an education trait when the character is generated and then applying Mastermind Theologian on top of what they already have. Since in 2/10 cases they're have that trait already, they won't get a second education trait.

Looking at the script for spawn_fantastic_scholar_effect (from \Crusader Kings II\common\scripted_effects\00_scripted_effects.txt) (which both the scholar and mystic effects call), it has the following script in new_character = { } which is incorrect (lines 16640 to 16645);

        remove_trait = naive_appeaser
        remove_trait = underhanded_rogue
        remove_trait = charismatic_negotiator
        remove_trait = grey_eminence
  
        add_trait = mastermind_theologian

It should instead be:

        remove_trait = detached_priest
        remove_trait = martial_cleric
        remove_trait = scholarly_theologian
  
        add_trait = mastermind_theologian

I've attached an updated 00_scriped_effects.txt file that should fix the issue, but haven't had time to test it yet.

Steps to reproduce the issue.
1) Start a game as any character in any bookmark.
2) Use the console to trigger event HF.24238 (for Scholars) and HF.24239 (for Mystics) multiple times.
3) Observe that some, but not all of the characters generated have multiple education traits. In my testing I found it be around 8/10 cases.

Update, the famous bards spawned by the event keep arriving with the Crusade trait.

I've fixed both the issues on internal version, should go live with next patch. Closing.
