This has not usually been a problem in my games. But I tend to use red herrings enough to keep them on their toes, and they often doubt the "truth" even when they think they have it.

I personally would have no interest in any AI output. I deal with that enough at work, and my hobby should be an escape from the frustrating parts of the real world. I generally take an old school approach, and I enjoy the nostalgic feels in my gaming.

I do have a buddy who games a lot with a solo AI generated campaign. He has spent a lot of work fine tuning it to produce the experience he wants. But it has no appeal to me. So as with many things, to each their own.

One further complication is that the pips have to be awarded in order. So if a PC rolls a Great Success and invokes a trait to help, this is actually enough of an achievement to gain the final, most difficult THIRD pip by RAW. However, if by chance this skill group hasn't yet had any awards, then the FIRST pip must be scored. It leaves the situation that two wonderful rolls, followed by a simple roll would get two AP ( the 1st and the 2nd); but if the simple roll were completed first it would be three AP. Seems wrong to me.

Q3. I actually believe that AP should be awarded more freely than RAW. Principally because I think by the time a PC has spent their AP (pips) to get to level 3 in most skills they are quite old!! Players are left with the choice of either having a rounded but mediocre jack-of-all-trades, or somebody quite good at one or two skills - but only by the end of their career. Another reason is that it should be easier to explain AP awards to a new Player.

To do this I would simplify the awards to be given on (a) FIRST pip = any Success (b) SECOND pip = any Great Success and (c) THIRD pip = any Extraordinary Success. But in addition to that these awards would be independent of each other.
In addition a Trait/Speciality/Distinctive Feature can be used to Boost any Successful roll by one level for the purpose of gaining a pip.

Courage was introduced in the Adventurer's Companion (which came out near the final productions of Cubicle7/TOR1e, and it was a surprisingly great bonus book).

Essentially if a player joined a game with a newbie PC, then, at the start of the Adventuring Phase, the newbie's total of Spent XP was compared to the largest spent XP of the other PCs. For every complete 10XP difference between those totals, the newbie was given 1 Courage point. (Up to a maximum to be no more than the Basic Heart rating of the newbie.)
Any Courage point could be spent as a free alternative to a Hope point. BUT at the end of each and every session, 1 unused Courage point could be traded for 2AP(pip) AND/OR another unused CP could be traded for 1XP. Players soon learnt to keep 2CP back for trading in. Some PCs could gain (say) 12 AP and 6 XP to boost their development in the following Fellowship Phase.
