Sensitive to Wood
From Hastur
You are allergic to wood, in a most fatal way. While this is a rather big flaw, it is fairly common among younger uneducated vampires. Having seen too many Hammer movies, they belive that all vampires react to wood this way.
Prerequisite: Any vampire.
Penalty: Wooden weapons that deal piercing damage (such as wooden stakes, arrows, pool cues, spear shafts, and table legs) threaten a critical hit against you on a natural 20 (unless noted otherwise). A successful critical hit that does at least 1 point of damage destroys you instantly, turning you to dust. You have no fortification against these weapons.
Normal: Without this flaw, a wooden stake will only send you into torpor on a critical hit.
