Actually I liked how they explained the sunlight allergy in 1st edition,
based off x-rays and such. Which also gave modifiers to medical healing
that they then left out of 2nd edition (and I've added back in). My
opinion is a water allergy is still silly, maybe I'd by an allergy to a
substance in the water: chlorine, flouride, lead...but an allergy to the
chemical bonding of H2O is just silly. :o)
