SotC laid out relatively thoroughly what defenses are used when. Diaspora is a
bit more coy about it.

Other than Agility, what Skills has the design team been using for defense, and
what are some examples of the description of such?

My first character is a 4 Brawler Can I pretty much use Brawling as my defense
in most cases during a physical conflict, especially as it includes found items
you could theoretically grab and interpose?


Also, since I haven't had time to join participate in the group lately, I wanted
to add that I really love and appreciate Diaspora and it's inspired me to work
on/polish all my latent Fate projects that have been lying about the last couple
years. Bravo!
