Alright, here's the deal. Thanos dies...I've got a 3rd order marker on him, and we move into the 3rd phase.
So Thanos is dead. It's technically the start of my turn, but I've got an order on a now dead figure. Do I still get to roll the 20 sided to resurrect Thanos? (I have other figures alive on the board if that matters).
Thanks!
(Oh yea, I tried the google trick but couldn't find anything).

You lost that turn. So it never even starts.

Well, no, I still have an order marker up, so I don't think I lose that turn, I just can't do anything on that turn. Correct?

Check the rulebook. You lose that turn.
Also, if your logic is that you don't lose the turn (which you do, its in the rulebooks) but you just can't do anything on that turn, why would you get to roll for his power? That would be doing something. :P

First off, Thanks for the quick reply, it's much appreciated.
Well, right, I did just check as you wrote that.
However, in order to lose that turn, I have to reveal that order marker before I lose that turn. The first phase of a new turn is to reveal your orders, correct?
So, the start of my turn, is before I reveal my orders. So I should get to roll for each order I have regardless of if it's on a live character or not. (I'm just bitching because I'm going to lose a game for this, however, I think it's a bad loophole in the rules).

I'm too tired for this...take your loss like a man and move on. :P

If you don't get to perform any actions, you don't get to take your turn, thus you have LOST your turn. What else do you think a "turn" is?? And if you've lost your turn, there's no "before your turn" to use to roll for Rejected by Death, because you're not going to take a turn.
Anyway, I think nether has more than explained this already, if you don't get it by now, you're not going to.

It's not a matter of getting it or not, it's a matter of how the rules are worded. Which, in this game, means everything. (Take Talord and his flying ability).
However, I re-read the card, and I think you're right. I was saying "Before the start of my turn" before, and in re-reading, it says "At the start of your turn."
So what netherspirit said is correct, and yes, I'm an idiot. :)
Thanks for the quick replies. They're much appreciated.

You'll find that happens a lot around here. :P
