Does Fateweaver have to be on the table for the rest of a Daemon army to use his Lord of Unreality and Staff of Tomorrow rerolls? I'm sure I've read somewhere that he can be in reserve and still use them, but can someone confirm this with regard to the RAW?

The RAW is that there is no rule restricting special rules and the like from being used while off the table. Since we do have a general permission to use special rules at all that means we have permission to use special rules while in reserves.

Fateweaver's rule also doesn't happen to have any requirement that need to be met that being in reserves prevents (such as measuring a range, etc.).

So RAW You can use the reroll while Fateweaver is in reserves.

Something doesn't sound right about you using his rules while he's in reserve, same with using his rules when he's dead

Not really the same thing at all.

Yeah it would be hard to argue that he could use them when dead, but the Lord of Unreality rules just say it can be used when the Warlord is alive; he is still alive while in reserve so I dont see why he can't use it then.
