So I'm newer to AW and I really like some of the system, but I am more partial to DW. I'm trying really hard to wrap my brain around some things in AW difference between Seize by force and Go Aggro but think, maybe, I understand it after ready numerous threads and blogs on it.

But, I still don't see a basic knowledge skill like Spout Lore DW has. The Read Person doesn't apply, Read Sitch maybe? I guess that's the closest. I mean a player wants to see if they know x about the area, local history, foreign language, certain plant, etc what do they roll?

Also what about defending an ally? DW has Defend allows you to do some neat things to help protect someone. In AW would you use Under Fire if you wanted to protect an ally or local from an attack?

Thanks
