When a Vengeance Paladin abjures an enemy, it says he is frightened and cannot move. Does this mean he has the frightened condition (disadvantage on attacks and ability checks) AND cannot move, or is it only that he cannot move?

 

Thanks!

It uses the specific word for a condition. I see no reason to believe it's not referring to that condition.

Every time that the rules text says "is frightened" they are meaning that the frightened condition is assigned.

man, there seems to be a quit a few syntax issuses in this edition. Capilization would help alot for things like conditions and other common nouns that become a proper noun with effects

There aren't really any issues with syntax - just with certain readers' expectations of syntax when they are expecting a more formal writing style like 4e or even 3.5 had, so they are unsure how to handle the casual writing style that 5e elected to use.
