[Basic] Disadvantage of the Week: Vulnerability and Weakness

[Say, it isn't that bad!]

In the original Dracula (by Bram Stoker), the eponymous Count did not take damage from sunlight; although he did not seem fond of it.

I think the modern tradition of "vulnerability" to a wooden stake through the heart ("Doesn't that kill anyone?") would more properly be represented as a limited form of Unkillable 1. The same for Night of the Living Dead zombies and destroying the brain.

Likewise, in the tradition of a silver bullet to kill a werewolf, as I understand it, it's that only a silver bullet (or, presumably, a silver weapon in general; but why would you melee a werewolf if you didn't have to?) can kill a werewolf.

Much of what tends to get Vulnerability or Weakness could more properly be phrased as other things, I think.
