This is about a situation where a character that's immune to something experiences a drawback based on said immunity. The kinds of disability vary — You Feel No Pain? You might not know what hit you or how much it damages your body. Immune to Drugs? It's gonna stab you in the back next time you need medicine. You're immortal? You'd be surprised at what you can live through. And so on and so forth. Sub-Trope of Power at a Price and Blessed with Suck. If your particular immunity is to death, it becomes the subtrope Who Wants to Live Forever?. Compare and contrast Disability Immunity (its inverse trope), Logical Weakness, Disability Superpower and Exploited Immunity. Examples |

Touma in A Certain Magical Index has his enchanted right arm, Imagine Breaker, that functions as an Anti-Magic. In a world filled with mages, this gives him a great advantage. However, among other sucky things, it also cancels beneficial magic such as Healing Hands. If not for his expert surgeon friend, he would have died of many non-magical things that his enemy can use. And apparently, in this setting, luck is a gift from God. So his luck is non-existent because it is nullified. | |

Angel: Darla gets pregnant, despite being a vampire. Darla tries to have an abortion, but can't — there's some sort of magical force field protecting the fetus from any harm. Good for the fetus, until said force field makes it impossible for him to actually be born. Darla, who is sharing the baby's soul and can't stand the thought of losing it when the baby's born/dies, stakes herself, leaving the living baby there when she turns to dust. | |

In Haven, Nathan Wuornos's Trouble is that he can't feel anything. And the show thoroughly explores how much that sucks, particularly since Nathan is a police officer. For the obvious, he can't feel when he's been injured on the job, such as one notable case where he was impaled by half a dozen industrial nails. But he also asks his partner, Audrey, to check the temperature of his coffee before he drinks it so that he doesn't burn his mouth, and his kitchen is plastered in sticky notes reminding him to be careful around the stove and knife block. It sometimes gives him a Disability Immunity, but mostly he hates it. Audrey, on the other hand, is immune to all the Troubles. This is mostly a positive, since it means she's able to tell when something has gone wrong and keeps her from being affected by Troubles that change people's behavior. It's a drawback, however, when the Troubled person is a Reality Warper. Being immune to the Troubles, she can't see what everyone else is seeing, and it makes it more difficult to help. |

Shades of Grey: In Chromotacia, those who have been infected with the lethal Mildew can be euthanized by exposure to a specific shade of univisual green known as "sweetdream", which causes a surge of pleasure so incredibly intense that prolonged exposure will burn out the autonomic nervous system. Those who can see green naturally, however, are immune to the effects of sweetdream and must suffer through the full course of the Mildew. | |

During the Giffen/DeMatteis run on Justice League of America, Power Girl is badly injured in a battle, but the doctors cannot perform surgery because no scalpel can cut through her invulnerable skin. Superman ends up saving her life, using his heat vision as a laser scalpel while Kilowog, then serving as the Justice League's engineer and tech expert, whips up a device that can hold Superman's head perfectly still to allow him to use his heat vision with precision. | |

The Savage Dragon has a Healing Factor as part of his power set. One villain took advantage of that by pounding his body into a pulp and breaking nearly all his bones, and then throwing him into a smokestack so by the time he could climb out, his body had healed poorly, his limbs and torso twisted and mangled. Mighty Man (the resident Captain Marvel Expy) had to re-break all his bones to allow them to set properly. | |

Rosario + Vampire: Similar to the One Piece example above, Kahlua Shuzen can temporarily make herself Feel No Pain for better performance in a fight, and as a result, she has no way of knowing how much damage her body's taking until it simply quits on her. In fact, this was what forced Fairy Tale to retreat from Mizore's homeland, as Miyabi realized that she was approaching her limit and would kill herself otherwise. | |

In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency, the villain Cars ends up gaining immortality and an auto-evolution ability after combining the Stone Mask and Red Stone of Asia. Joseph uses this ability against him by throwing him into an active volcano where he hardens in defense as it's about to erupt. He gets launched into space and is stuck floating around forever; eventually his mind shuts down completely. | |

Baldur's Gate: In the original Baldur's Gate, Viconia was a cleric who had a 65% resistance to magic, potentially incrementable. This made her a very effective asset against wizards, since she could avoid a lot of magic damage. Unfortunately, this meant also that often she wasn't able to heal herself or cast buff and protection spells to herself, rendering her a bit squishy. This was later adjusted in Baldur's Gate II (where she had a 50% resistance against magic except healing and defensive spells) and in the Enhanced Edition (the same). By the end of Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal, you can upgrade the Flail of Ages to the +5 version, which grants Free Action among other beneficial effects. That is, the character wielding the weapon is immune to spells affecting his mobility like Hold Person, Entangle, Stun or Web. The problem is that in the Enhanced Edition it also prevents buff like Haste. Since by the expansion it is rare to slip into anything like those spells, while Haste is practically mandatory to get the highest possible damage per round, many players don't upgrade the flail to its ultimate version, leaving it to the +4 one. |

Blade of the Immortal: The protagonist, Manji, is not only immortal but can heal from virtually any wound. This comes back to bite him a few times: In general, Manji bemuses that although he's one of the best swordsmen in Japan, his sword skills have slowly gotten worse because knowing he can't die dulls his instincts. There's a special poison that works only on immortals; it doesn't directly kill them, but it basically reopens every single wound they've ever received after becoming immortal. When used on Manji, the results are especially gory, excruciating, and horrific. |

The Flash: In one story, Bart Allen's kneecap is blasted apart by Deathstroke, and he's rushed to the hospital. During the surgery, his Super-Speed means that his flesh keeps trying to heal improperly before an artificial kneecap can be placed, forcing the doctors to cut him open repeatedly. His metabolism means that no anesthesia can be used either. | |

With This Ring: The Renegade has an artificial soul made for him, structured to let him grow into a New God. His innate divinity resists external changes to his body, granting him immunity to poisons and diseases, plus a substantial Healing Factor if he's injured. Unfortunately, if something does actually manage to seriously hurt him, then he's also immune to painkillers, and his power ring (which counts as an external effect) can't restore him. He also shrugs off beneficial effects like the Garrick formula in a matter of seconds. | |

Inuyasha: Exploited by Naraku during Sango's introductory arc. After manipulating Sango into believing that Inuyasha attacked her village and slaughtered everyone there for the Shikon Jewel shard Sango had found earlier (unsurprisingly, Naraku was the real culprit), he embeds another shard in her body that completely negates her ability to feel pain, intending that she'll fight Inuyasha to the death without ever realizing how badly she was hurt. Indeed, she doesn't even notice she's bleeding out until Inuyasha calls attention to her wounds. | |

In Rising Stars one man's power is invulnerability from external harm—but this also leaves him highly insensitive to any form of touch, except on the back of his tongue, where he could still taste. He developed an eating disorder and became an indestructible obese man. He's murdered when someone tapes a plastic bag over his head while he's asleep; he suffocates because he can't feel it. | |

In PS238, Ambriel's power is what she calls her "Guardian Angel," a sort of semi-sentient force that protects her from harm. When it's temporarily turned off she quickly becomes sick—it seems her power kept germs away from her, which means that she never built up much of an immune system. It's made worse because now by now her power is working again and won't let Nurse Newbie give her a shot. Ultimately, Ambriel dies, becomes a ghost, and is then resurrected, after which her "angel" becomes more discerning about what it keeps out. | |

Kate in The Elysium Project is partially immune to the Elysium formula, a Super Serum that grants people reality-bending powers. It does work on her, but unlike any of the other test subjects her powers go away after about a month unless she injects herself with more of the formula. This sucks when you're on the run from people who want to kill or capture you and all of your friends. This is not to mention the fact that Kate has only one normal arm. The other is a prosthetic that she manipulates using her powers. Without them, it's just a piece of metal. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Before 3rd Edition, Magic Resistance gave you a percentage chance to be unaffected by a spell. This applied to helpful spells like buffs or healing just as much as it applied to harmful effects. On top of this, races that had Magic Resistance as an inborn trait generally had it get stronger as they went up in level, so the higher level they got, the less likely the party cleric could heal them or some other useful magic. 3rd edition reduced the problem by allowing characters to voluntarily switch off spell resistance, though this requires them to not be unconscious. | |

The Flash (2014): Similar to the above Flash and Captain America examples, Barry Allen's superspeed gives him a super-fast metabolism and super healing, so he's very hard to kill. Unfortunately, this means he needs to eat massive amounts of food to avoid passing out from low blood sugar levels. His body also burns through alcohol and anesthesia within a second, so he can't get drunk and, worse, is fully conscious during surgeries. | |

In Mega Man X: Command Mission, Spider and Axl turn invisible in their Hyper Modes. In gameplay this makes them invincible, to reflect the fact that enemies attacking them can't actually aim at them. However, allies can't see them to heal them either. | |

In Ashes of the Past, the fact that Dark-types are immune to psychic powers results in occasional (usually humourous) inconvenience as they can't hear telepathic speech or be teleported when not in a Pokéball. | |

In Snuggles the Symbiote, the Required Secondary Powers of Ashley's superhuman hormone production doesn't discriminate, making her immune or resistant to all drugs and toxins... including pain killers, antibiotics, and other medications. This is a problem because her chemical resistance is only enough to keep her from ODing on her own hormones, it's not calibrated to perfectly counter her increased production and potency meaning that she's physically weak with a severely compromised immune system. | |

Superman's near invulnerability also prevents him from shaving because even his beard is too tough to cut, so he uses his heat vision. (In post-Crisis comics, he also has to use a bit of his spaceship, since a normal mirror would melt. In pre-Crisis comics, his hair just doesn't grow while he has his powers.) | |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Legendary Fisherman is immune to spells and cannot be attacked while Umi is on the field. Not only can it not benefit from helpful spell cards, but your opponent can just attack you directly instead. Gearfried the Iron Knight destroys any equip cards attached to him. While useful when targeted by certain enemy cards such as Blast Sphere and Ekibyo Drakmord, it mostly just leaves him unable to be buffed by your own cards. |

Chrestomanci: At birth, it was foretold that Christopher Chant's weakness would be silver, so his father cast his strongest spells against silver affecting him. Ultimately, silver causes him to be Brought Down to Normal; when Christopher isn't touching it, he's the most powerful enchanter in the worlds. (It's implied that it was a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy.) | |

Heroes of Might and Magic games often feature one or more magic-immune creature, the most famous of which is the reoccurring Black Dragon. Creatures with this ability are completely immune to all enemy spells as expected, but are also immune to friendly spells. This means they're unable to be buffed, healed, or resurrected, and instead rely purely on their raw stats. | |

Retired superhero Element Girl longs for death because her freakish appearance leaves her socially isolated and agoraphobic. However, because her body can automatically transmute itself into most any element, she's effectively immortal, and unable to commit suicide without the intervention of the god who bestowed her powers in the first place. | |

Loveless is a universe in which Words Can Break My Bones and magical duels are usually determined by using verbal imagery to curse the opposition's existence, limiting their capacities or inflicting pain until one side can take no more. A personal project involved artificially creating interchangeable human duelists able to use magic and possessing no nerve endings. Unlike zombies nothing makes these too stupid to see things like hypothermia coming, but being so easily able to defeat most opposition means they tend not to learn to protect themselves... and their casual brutality makes a more dangerous opponent unlikely to leave them alive to learn. | |

In Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000: Followers of Nurgle are generally immune to pain, due to their bodies being so much dead or festering tissue that they're only "alive" in the loosest sense of the word. Likewise, Slaaneshi cultists are Too Kinky to Torture, but they require ever-greater amounts of sensory input to feel anything at all. Khorne's followers are empowered in body and mind to ignore injuries and stresses that would break almost anyone else on the battlefield. Unfortunately for them, the fury never stops, making them endure intense, almost painful levels of anxiety and restlessness that is only ever alleviated by slaughter. Blanks are rare individuals who are immune to all psychic powers. This causes a number of side effects: Blanks not only nullify psychic powers on themselves, but often in a small area around them. Psychics in the area can normally find people by seeking out their psychic signatures. The dead-zone created by a blank is even more of a sign that something odd is there. As emotions are a form of psychic power, blanks have muted emotions and drain the emotions from those around them. Being immune to all psychic powers includes healing or support abilities as well. Because blanks are so rare and their abilities as anti-psyker weapons are so invaluable, once discovered, you'll probably be picked up by the Inquisition and pressed into their service for the rest of your life. Depending on your viewpoint, this is either awesome or horrible. Blanks inspire instinctive revulsion in almost all sentient beings. Because the soul itself resides in the Warp, being in the presence of one is disturbing because you can subconsciously sense your very soul being suppressed. In weaker blanks, this manifests as a mild sense of discomfort that can be interpreted as a something mundane like a foul body odor or unpleasant facial features that can be ignored. For the strongest blanks, known as Pariahs, the effect creates crippling terror or homicidal rage that makes being near them for any length of time intolerable to all but the strongest willed beings. To a psyker, being anywhere a blank's power is agonizing, potentially life-threatening agony. Needless to say, blanks tend not to lead long lives unless they get trained to control their "gift". |

In God of War (PS4), the Stranger/Baldur is impervious to harm and feels no pain. Because of this, he cannot feel the most mundane stimuli such as pain, temperature, taste or pleasure. This lack of sense drives him insane, as well as destroying any level of empathy he possessed. He even flat out said he would rather die than to not feel anything. | |

Minecraft: The Illagers' Ravagers take 75% less Knockback from attacks. This backfires against the Villagers' Iron Golems, whose attacks cause a knockback that launches targets into the air and away from them, usually requiring the Golem to get back into range for the next attack. Due to the Ravager's knockback resistance, it gets knocked back a lot less, allowing the Iron Golem to attack and kill them faster. | |

Yunalesca in Final Fantasy X has the nasty habit of inflicting Zombie on your characters, which turns heals into damage and persists through death. You may be tempted to equip armor with Zombieproof on it, but as the fight wears on she pulls out Mega Death, an attack which only affects non-Zombie characters and deals an instant KO (unless your armor also has Deathproof). | |

The Sandman (1989) covers the trope as it applies to immortality: Hob Gadling, who's been immortal ever since Death, in 1389, promised Dream not to take him until Hob was ready, spends the seventeenth century impoverished, sick and starving: "Do you know [...] how hungry a man can get if he doesn't die? But doesn't eat?" Retired superhero Element Girl longs for death because her freakish appearance leaves her socially isolated and agoraphobic. However, because her body can automatically transmute itself into most any element, she's effectively immortal, and unable to commit suicide without the intervention of the god who bestowed her powers in the first place. Dream's son, Orpheus, begs Death to make him immortal so he can enter the netherworld and rescue his wife Eurydice without dying. After failing in his quest, he tries to commit suicide but can't, and when a band of frenzied Dionysius worshippers tears him limb from limb, he lives on as a disembodied head, with only his estranged father able to grant him his wish to die. |

In the original Baldur's Gate, Viconia was a cleric who had a 65% resistance to magic, potentially incrementable. This made her a very effective asset against wizards, since she could avoid a lot of magic damage. Unfortunately, this meant also that often she wasn't able to heal herself or cast buff and protection spells to herself, rendering her a bit squishy. This was later adjusted in Baldur's Gate II (where she had a 50% resistance against magic except healing and defensive spells) and in the Enhanced Edition (the same). | |
