brace yourself, struggle, face a challenge and be brave - too similar?

[thegiftofgabes]

"you have brace yourself, struggle, face a challenge and be brave. i know that brace yourself is really just about GM moves - even though it sounds like it would be a similar move - but with the other three they seem to overlap heavily to me "

Maybe I need a better choice of words for naming the moves, but all of them do very different things.

Be brave is a kind of "action" move. You do a thing, actively, and you are being brave when you do that thing.

struggle is a form of "resistance" mechanic. You got the short end of the stick and you can pay a price to get away clear.

face a challenge is specific linked to the challenge system and interacts directly with it

"endure, resist, seize, divert;"

"how you can stand against wrong or harm"

these tell me that be brave is a more passive more. is it meant to be how sometimes in AW you have to act under fire before you can do the thing you want? or is it like that but in one move? or i'm totally misunderstanding maybe 😄

hmmm
you know what, you got a solid point there
lemme think about it a bit
but the point of struggle is "give up something important and change your luck"
so maybe I should rephrase struggle to suit

I feel that they do very different things but renaming them to reflect their function in the game might be an improvement
