I guess the question would be, do you roll for Rejected by Death before revealing an Order Marker on Dr. Fate's card?

I'm no authority on this, but I'll take a stab at it anyway. As far as I can tell, Thanos (the original Hasbro one is the one you're referring to, right?) uses the same "At the start of each of your turns" wording as Solomon Grundy, and in response to a question in Grundy's thread, Ronin said that this refers to turns you take with a figure (As opposed to a player's overall "turn")

If my understanding is correct, the sequence of events is that you reveal an order marker BEFORE taking a turn with a figure. That would mean if you put all your order markers on Doctor Fate, you wouldn't be able to roll for Rejected By Death until after you've revealed your 1 marker, which would leave at most the remaining 3 unrevealed markers to be used for Helm of Nabu to add 3 to Thanos' D20 roll.

My gut feeling is that you would reveal the OM first then activate RbD, but could get the +3.

If you put OM1 on someone like Multiple Man and the rest on Fate, you could get multiple rolls and have the option to use up to +3 as needed.

Nice work.

Proofreading for poker sized cards. The “Helm of Nabu “ power has slightly different wording in the first sentence in the PDF and the SP. (“one or more...” vs. “any”). Which should it be? I don’t know that it even matters, but I thought I would point out all of these little inconsistencies when I see them. Thanks!

One or more reads slightly more clearly and is already on the card, so I think we should go with that. SP updated.

Backchecking for the poker cards... the PDF and SP still don’t quite match. “Immediately” is at the beginning of the sentence in the PDF, and worded to be used later in the SP. Not a big deal, but thought I would point it out.
