Harrowed is a state characters in the Deadlands rpg can achieve. A Harrowed character has risen from the grave due to his or her body being possessed by a Manitou (Demon/Evil Spirit). As an undead, a Harrowed has a variety of special powers, but these are balanced by supernatural drawbacks, such as the fact the Harrowed constantly needs to battle their Manitou 'inmate' for control of their body.
Because of the presence of the Manitou within their bodies, Harrowed can absorb the life energies of certain abominations to gain mystical powers, such as Soul Eater and Sicken. The proccess of absorbing this energy is called "Counting Coup".
