Summary: Rogue Extraordinaire perk (Roguery 275) allegedly (according to its description) gives "+1% loot amount for every skill point above 200". It just says "loot" without specifying any particular kind of loot so it's reasonable to assume it should work on any loot.
However, de facto it has no impact on battle loot. A character with Roguery ~300 has the same amount of loot (measured by total revenue from selling said loot) from the same fight regardless of having the perk.
Roguery's own effect on loot is clearly visible: a character with roguery 60 gets way less loot than character with roguery 300. But learning Rogue Extraordinaire perk on top of it doesn't increase loot further.

Old bannerlordperks website ( https://www.bannerlordperks.com/perk;skill=roguery;perk=rogue-extraordinaire ) claims that the perk only affects loot from caravans and raided villages. I don't know if that is true but if that is - and if that is intended - then the perk's description should be changed/clarified so that it doesn't mislead anyone into believing that all loot is affected.

How to Reproduce: autoresolve the same fight against some random enemy lord a few times by the same hero with the same ~300 Roguery skill but with/without the perk and then sell the loot to see how much you gained. The expected 100% ((300-200)*1%) bonus to loot is just not there.
 
The issue you have reported has been forwarded to our QA team for further investigation. We might need additional information regarding this issue, such as screenshots or videos, save files or dump reports. Thanks for reporting and sorry for any inconvenience!
 
We have changed the text from loot to loot amount. This will be fixed with the future patches. Thanks for reporting.
I'm sorry... what?
That's not even what I...
God.
When I said "It just says "loot"" in what I believed to be a very detailed description of the bug, I thought it was obvious that I meant "It just says "loot" instead of "caravan loot" or "raid loot"" not "loot instead of loot amount".
What you need to change is either specify in the description that only "raid/caravan loot" is affected instead of simply "loot" (which basically means "all loot") or actually rework the perk so that it would affect battle loot that it currently does not affect.

For most people, it's battle loot that matters the most. And currently the perk misleads them into believing that it will buff their battle loot too. But it doesn't buff battle loot.
