Short summary of your issue

Game Version
1.3.1

What OS are you playing on?

What platform are you using?

No

How much "pain" is this causing you?
8

Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
Chance to find secrets at court or sucess chance of hostile schemes are barely affected by the spymaster's skill.

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
Start a game as Emir Yahya ibn Isma'il of the Dhunnunid Emirate (1066 start) : the bug is obvious there cause the character has 1 in Intrigue, and even with a 22 level spymaster, chance to find secrets at court stays at 0.

If you start in 867 as King Charles II of West Francia, who has 16 Intrigue, depending on which spymaster you take, you'll get very small variations in success chance of his wife's murder, as you can see in the screenshots.

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?
This doesn't seem to affect other councillors. I haven't checked all the numbers, but they do seem to change in ways that make more sense, so it might be specific to the spymaster.

I have attached a save game
Yes

I can tentatively confirm this, I almost never bother with intrigue because the probability of success for almost anything is extremely low unless my ruler has high Intrigue. It really does seem like the Spymaster isn't helping.
