I'm creating an Aasimar oracle and am taking the clouded vision curse. The question I have his with the racial dark-vision.
Would the limited sight of the curse out-weight the racial darkvision?
i.e. would I have clear sight to 30 feet, but then dark vision out to 60, or would it all be just out to 30 ft?

Darkvision is the extraordinary ability to see with no light source at all, out to a range specified for the creature. Darkvision is black-and-white only (colors cannot be discerned). It does not allow characters to see anything that they could not see otherwise—invisible objects are still invisible, and illusions are still visible as what they seem to be. Likewise, darkvision subjects a creature to gaze attacks normally. The presence of light does not spoil darkvision.
Empahsis mine.
You will only be able to see out to 30', even in darkness.
Clouded Vision: Your eyes are obscured, making it difficult for you to see. You cannot see anything beyond 30 feet, but you can see as if you had darkvision. At 5th level, this distance increases to 60 feet. At 10th level, you gain blindsense out to a range of 30 feet. At 15th level, you gain blindsight out to a range of 15 feet.
The curse doesn't give you darkvision, it just acts like darkvision.
And either way it is a curse, so you do lose your racial darkvision.
that's what I was afraid of.. thanks for the answer guys :)
You would have your racial Darkvision capped out to 30'.
So you could see 'normally', or using Darkvision, but either way your total maximum visual distance regardless of vision type used is 30' :p
