If a model with FNP is hit with a weapon that does 3 damage, does he roll once to mitigate the entire attack, or roll 3 dice, one for each damage

Q: When rolling for abilities such as ‘Disgustingly Resilient’ or ‘Tenacious Survivor’ against attacks which inflict multiple wounds, do you roll to ignore each individual wound inflicted by the attack, or do you roll only once to ignore all the wounds inflicted by the attack?
A: Roll to avoid each wound lost separately. For example, if a model with Disgustingly Resilient fails its saving throw against an attack made by a thunder hammer (Damage 3), you would roll three dice and for each result of 5+ you would ignore a single wound.

Could you make the argument that a 1w model only ever loses one wound (because that's all it can lose), and thus only need to make one roll?

After all the Answer specifically addresses wounds lost, not points of damage

If your guy only has one wound, you have to pass all three or your guy is toast. That is how it works.

No. This is pretty clear cut.

Even if this wasn't how the rule worked, we have a special snowflake FAQ, which supersedes the rules.

Isn't that the FAQ we're discussing in this thread?
