Is a Vampire harmed by sunlight?
Answer:
Yes. Emphatically yes. Even a brief exposure to sunlight will cause burns that can take days to heal. Prolonged exposure will burn a Vampire to ash. Sunlight is one of the sure ways to destroy a Vampire.
Is a Vampire repelled by garlic?
Answer:
No more so than any ordinary person not of Italian extraction. On the other hand, given the multiplicity of Vampire bloodlines there may be some Vampires somewhere who are allergic in some way to garlic.
Are Vampires burned by Holy water?
Answer:
Are we talking boiling holy water? Didn't think so, so the answer is, generally, no. On the other hand some humans with True Faith may be able to affect Vampires through the power of their faith. Holy water blessed by an actual living saint might have an effect.
What about religious symbols?
Answer:
Again, generally no. Vampires can come from, or belong to, any faith or religion. So a Christian Cross is no more of a religious threat, per se, than a Star of David or any other religious symbol. Again, the nature of True Faith has not fully been described in the New World of Darkness, so a genuinely holy person, or an item blessed by such a person might have some effect.
