So, a Necron warlord who rolls on the Personal Traits table could end up with both Feel No Pain and Reanimation Protocols. Now, you can't make multiple saves against a wound, but both FNP and RP are pretty explicit about not being saves. They don't seem to carry any limiting text within their own rules to stop this.

My google fu suggests this doesn't actually work, but I'm not finding anyone calling out why. What RAW line am I missing that stops this theoretical monster from rolling three different times to save every wound?

The fact that Reanimation Protocol specifically says you can't

Derp. Swear I read that and went "well, when would that ever come up...." Apparently I promptly excised it from things I could see until it was pointed out to me.

Nothing to see here...

Yo dawg, I heard you like Necron. So I put Necron in your Necron so you can Necron while you Necron.

Overlord + Nightmare Shroud + Phase Shifter + Phylactery + Resurrection Orb + Orikan the Diviner = 2+ rerollable armour save or 4+ reroll 1s Invulnerable save, followed by a 4+ rerollable Reanimation save, followed by a 5+ It Will Not Die Save.

It will not die is neither a save nor does it prevent death or wounds.

Of course, but it does make the Necron more Necron whilst you Necron, presuming you somehow manage to get 3 wounds past the 2+/4++ rerolling.

Oh and get that Warlord Trait for Eternal Warrior for kicks and giggles. Can't even S10 it to death!
