Poll: Werewolves Or Vampires (NOT TWILIGHT)

[galdon2004]

I'll be the minority and say I'll stick to being human. Physically inferior maybe, but humans lack the heavily exploitable weaknesses that werewolves and vampires have. basically; I'd rather not gain power at the cost of leaving a gaping hole in my defenses.

You do know that a silver bullet and a stake through the heart would kill a human too? A human left out in the sun all day would eventually die as well, just takes a lot longer than it would if you were a vampire. A handful of weaknesses is a hell of a lot better than the encyclopedia of weaknesses humans suffer from. Cant breathe underwater, having to breathe at all, cancer, loss of blood, breakable bones that heal slowly, internal hemoraging, heart disease, disease etc, et al.

Werewolves are vulnerable to even the touch of silver; even if not lethal, and getting silver stuck inside them is usually painful enough to incapacitate them until it is removed. Its hard to learn to control yourself as a Werewolf and the damage you could do during the learning period could be devastating to your friends and family. They are typically loud and very noticeable, making them easy to track down.

Vampires instantly incinerate from sunlight (it takes longer in some movies due to dramatic effect and artistic license) Vampires can't cross running water or enter buildings without permission, they are repelled by the cross, and garlic. and die from stake to the heart, and harmed severely (though temporarily in some sources) by holy water

Those guys have a whole HOST of exploitable weaknesses. While they have superior strength and speed to humans, a sufficiently trained and prepared human can still kick the ass of either of them. its untrained, unprepared humans that are fodder.
