Altair Syndrome
A term given to any character in a video game who inexplicably dies by simply touching the water despite them being able to accomplish many other amazing feats.
The name is taken from the character Altair in Assassin's Creed who, despite being a trained assassin who can leap from 50 foot towers into hay and survive, cannot swim and dies from going to deep into the water.
Often used as a cheap way to stop players accessing certain areas by game developers, similar to the invisible wall.
