Do you take perils on 12 and above plus double 1's and 6's when taking psychic test under Runes of Warding?. If so you could take two wounds on one test.

So if you roll double 6's and anything on the third dice? That would still be over 12 and call for a perils. You really can take two perils tests on one power cast. And when rolling three dice you cant get two 1's. You will get three 1's. And that equals 3. Meaning you pass.

Well technically 3 1's is 3 sets of double 1's.

HAHA! Never thought of it like that. That is a dead Psyker right there..... If it worked like that.

You can only fail a test once, no matter how many times you meet the criteria. So yes you fail in two diffrent ways with a 6 6 1 on a PotW roll. And you take the hit for it. No matter how many dice you are rolling make it more than one test.

The entry for Runes of Warding specifically alters when someone takes a Perils! wound - it´s more specific than the rulebook´s "only 6|6 or 1|1 results" so takes precedence.

And the Eldar FAQ removed that and just made it a 12 or more. But you are right, that means no PotW on a double 1 or 6 if the opponet has RoW as Codex takes precedence.

The way it is written, it doesn't obviously exclude normal perils results. Specific doesn't negate general if it adds to the general rule.

No, it doesnt say "only". Meaning there is no contradiction between the rulebook and the codex
