But what I now don't get is how a chimera like Theo is trying to steal another werewolf's power? So the mountain ash rule doesn't work with him but the power stealing rule does? Shouldn't it be a supernatural rule as well? Determining what supernatural rules still apply to chimeras seems so selective just for the story. It should be all-or-nothing, IMO. It was actually said at some point that the point of chimeras was to take the best qualities of each, while reducing the negatives. Not sure where, though.

However, this principle is seen in a ton of fiction, and not just in Teen Wolf.... so I don't see that it's a big deal. I would like to see SOME weaknesses, or maybe the same weaknesses halved. But, it's not like they're doing it JUST for the story, because it is fairly common in fiction, as I have said.
