[PvK]

Fate is really different from a curse spell thrown by some enemy or magic item. Fated doom comes tends to come from the misdeeds of your parents, affairs of the gods. The exception might be if the enemy is cursing you because you are doing something attrocious to them (besides just fighting them in a battle). The effect of a doomed fate is also much different from merely making it more likely you'll get a permanent injury when you get hit in battle.
