Runes of the Farseer lets farseers "re-roll any number of dice used for this model's attempt to manifest or deny a psychic power".

I have two questions:

1. Am I allowed to re-roll one dice first, view the results, and then re-roll the other?
2. If I do re-roll one of the dice using Runes of the Farseer, can I spend a CP to re-roll the other?

For the first, it is a definite 'no'. You can only use the power once in each Psychic phase and you can't use the power to again to re-roll the second die, nor does it allow you to see the result of the first roll before you decide to roll the second die.

Point 1 I would say 100% no. You roll the dice, declare the Runes ability and then re-roll, with the 2nd result locked in.

Point 2, well, see here for the previous discussion that went nowhere https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/766740.page#10227467

Great explanation. I will use this the next time someone tries to play it this way.

Thank you BCB. Concise and informative as usual. Looks like the rules really need to specify what constitutes a "roll" before we can clear up this interaction. For now I'm leaning toward allowing it since as discussed in the thread, you're never actually re-rolling dice that have already been re-rolled.
