Weaknesses that can be exploited by others.

This pattern is a still a stub.

Examples

In the fourth edition of Dungeons & Dragons, monsters that are vulnerable to a specific form of attack simply take a predetermined extra amount of damage each time such an attack hits them. GURPS has the disadvantage Vulnerability that multiplies damages from certain types of attack depending on how vulnerable one is.

The design of weapons and monsters in Quake have been described as having chains of vulnerabilities where one monster is vulnerable to one type of weapon, but that weapon makes the player vulnerable to another type of monster[1].
