[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 8107528, member: 6915329"] I think that's definitely possible, but it would be a rules-exception type of thing, done on a case-by-case basis, rather than a single rule. If you inflict cold damage to a water elemental, its slowed until the end of its next turn; if you attack a yeti or flesh golem with fire, it has disad on attacks until the end of its next turn. A friend of mine wanted me to make a bunch of templates for him (he liked 3x templates a lot), and I went hog-wild with lycanthropes. I expanded on the idea of allergens from 2e's Van Richten's Guide to Werebeasts--y'know, the idea that wolvesbane is poisonous to werewolves, etc., which they haven't included in 5e so far. The lycanthrope could have either a mild or severe allergen to whatever, which would determine the DC of the Con save it would have to make, and then how much damage it took if the allergen was ingested, injected, or inhaled.
