As the title says, getting specific types of advisors (such as Statesman or Inquisitor) can be very frustrating, and when the buffs are literal necessities for many strategies, the prospect of spending several years and thousands of ducats trying to get 1 skill 1 advisor is very frustrating and immersion breaking (as well as having to return to the advisor screen after every month tick!) and makes for poor gameplay that relies far too heavily on RNG.
Instead, I propose that in addition to the normal pool of domestic advisors, the player should also be offered a pool of foreign-born advisors to select from, not unlike the 1.30 mercenary companies. This would offer a more buff-based option for advisors that allows players to seek out and consistently find specific subtypes of advisors, with less regard for the monarch points given.
The drawback to this would be that most or all of these advisors would be fundamentally unpromotable due to cultures; for instance, France could hire a Castilian Inquisitor but if the advisor is skill 1 France would not be able to promote him due to culture. Additionally, if the feature is still too powerful promotion could be locked entirely, and/or foreign advisors could be made more expensive, in a sort of inversion of event/mission advisors.
