Well, I don't really mind the 2d6, but I am happy with the 2d4. Upsets the
symmetry a little, but that is not important.
Actually, I am quite happy for most Easy skills to rocket up - when
it is something like Area Lore or an easy sorcery spell.
I do find it a little disconcerting how quickly Shield Parry and
Scan go up, however. It is often difficult to justify NOT giving a check in
these skills, as they are used in life threatening circumstances in an awful
lot of scenarios.

And me too. Actually, in practice for most skills I tend to award experience
checks to most seldom used skills whenever I can, wether Easy or Hard or
whatever, because otherwise I find that certain cults tend to be discriminated
overly - ie if someone needs to get Ride to 90% and my campaign is city
based, then they probably get their ride check when ever they do anything
at all dangerous on a mount, so they don't lag behind those who just need
Sword and Scan, who get checks most sessions.
