So I just downloaded the PoW Expanded subscription, and it's quite late and I'm quite tired, so bear with me. In reading the descriptions of some of the Cursed Razor maneuvers, the effects often state a target or victim is cursed or "gains the cursed condition". Does this mean it is cursed as the spell Bestow Curse?
Thanks in advance.
No. The description for Cursed Razor specifies that the cursed condition has no mechanical effect beyond what an individual ability describes.
However, if a creature is hit with a Bestow Curse or other effect, it also found as cursed as far as the Harbinger is concerned.
Does that make sense?
Many techniques of Cursed Razor cause a creature to gain the cursed condition; cursed creatures suffer the influence of dark magics, becoming more vulnerable to some maneuvers. By itself the cursed condition has no further effects, but cursed creatures take additional damage from some maneuvers, or are vulnerable to maneuvers that cannot be used on creatures that are not cursed (see maneuver descriptions for additional information on how they interact with the cursed condition). In addition to the maneuvers and stances that render a creature cursed, any creature laboring under the effects of a spell with the [Curse] descriptor (such as bestow curse) is treated as cursed. Multiple applications of the cursed condition do not overlap; instead the duration of each new application of the condition (such as 1d4 rounds from the bad karma counter) is added to the remaining duration of the previous application. The cursed condition may be removed by the remove curse or break enchantment spells or similar effects.

Yeah, it does now... lol... last night I was really out of it (exhausted) and not much made any sense at all. Thanks!

Awesome. Thanks!
