TA: Supernatural Weaknesses

Tivosstuff asks: Do your creatures have the same weaknesses as they do in common folklore? Like silver, crosses, running water etc

So, I have a huge pet peeve at other games where they take away vampire weaknesses and just make them drink blood. Like dude, if that vampire can go into the sunshine without harm, doesn't care about stakes, no stigmata etc, then what the fuck are they?? Not a fuckin vampire. Sorry to vague post, it legit gets me really annoyed.

But it's a bit detailed for my guys?

For example, yes, sunlight and stakes and holy water fuck up vampires badly. Then there's more precise weaknesses, since the vampires all come from different "families". They usually stick together, anyway. Like S, is a very humanoid vampire, while their cousin clan is VERY obviously a vampire. S can get away with looking and acting human, they can even eat! They'll just get a really bad tummy ache. So, another weakness for Sienna/Simeone is that instead of stakes immobilizing them, if done through the heart, they would die instantly.

Other vampires can't stop their own powers, making it obvious they're a vampire, some clans cant strand crucifixes and symbols similiar, etc.

Werewolves have wolfsbane, silver weapons. They need to be killed quickly, because they regenerate like crazy. That and they have a very delicate sense of smell and if you pick correctly, you could immobilize them through it. Also, easier to kill as humans.

Demons are like vampires, holy water but they also can't cross into holy ground whatsoever, even as a familiar. They can't stand being read religious text to (to clarify, it has to be from a believer of the faith. get an atheist to do it, who doesn't believe in it, it won't do shit). Witches can be exorcised and it will send their familiars back to hell. Even when in their demon form and not connected to a witch, they shall be exorcised and sent back home. Salt is distasteful, and Reapers make them jumpy.

Reapers are already dead, cannot be sent away, cannot be touched without permission, so just let them do their job and they wont fuck with you. Unless YOURE the job.
