Weaksauce Weakness Discussion

fleb: Cut this, for being badly constructed and overly wordy; plus, it's describing What Kind Of Lame Power Is Heart Anyway, not an Achilles Heel.

* This contributor always thought of Yomiko Readman's power in Read Or Die as a great subversion. She basically has awesome powers of telekinesis, but it only works on the vague specification of 'paper'. Her signature suitcase is a throwback to the original idea she could only use paper treated specifically for the task, while her anime counterpart seems able to use anything she finds up to and including dollar bills.

32_Footsteps: Removed the following:

Marik from Yu Gi Oh The Abridged Series can use his Millennium Rod to control minds. Unfortunately, it only works on people named Steve.
In Super Stupor, one superhero can force anyone to tell the truth by having sex with them.

As both are examples of What Kind Of Lame Power Is Heart Anyway.

Peteman: Can someone explain the Weaksauce Weakness of the Vampire the Masquerade? Or is sunlight the only thing that's supposed to qualify them? Because being weak to a rare biological killing machine doesn't sound like much of a weakness.

Earnest: Fixed the example to more accurately reflect the trope in the game. And for the record, everything in the world of darkness is equally "weak" against a rampaging werewolf(ves). Only highly powerful or insanely well prepared antagonists could defeat them.

Mark Z: Removed the Markhagir from Kushiel's Avatar. He didn't have a special weakness; he got stabbed in the kidneys, which I'm pretty sure works on anyone.
