JDMG - Rules clarification - rolling Armor saves

[Winged_Human]

So far my gaming group and I have been rolling ONE dice for an armor save regardless of the number of hits that occured (multi dice gun). Someone made a point that one way to interpret that ruling was to doll an armor save dice per hit.

I couldn't really find anywhere in the rulebook stamping in black and white "Armor save roll is made with one dice only regardless of the number of hits taken" so I thought I'd reach out to my fellow gamers to see how you do armor saves, or if you might know a different area in the book that would backup my support of one dice per armor roll.

thanks

It's one dice per hit.

Every Shooting Dice rolling higher than the target’s Agility roll will be a successful attack. Each successful attack will deduct a number of Hits from the target equal to its weapon’s Damage score.

When the model has been hit by a shooting attack, roll a dice and add the model’s Armour score. If the result is greater than 10, then no Hits will be lost.

Each successful hit is counted as a separate attack, and each attack requires an armour roll. So if you take 3 hits from a spit pistol you'd have to make 3 armour rolls.

Yes, that's how we play it. But an attack that removes multiple hits - you're hit once, for 6 damage for example, would be just one armour saving throw.
