After a friendly **HAND OF THE ARCHON** operative performs an action, it gains one of your Pain tokens if: - An enemy operative was injured during that action, but was not incapacitated. - An enemy operative was incapacitated during that action. If that enemy operative had a Wounds stat of 12 or more, that friendly operative gains two of your Pain tokens instead. You can spend friendly operatives' Pain tokens on invigorations when the 'when' condition is met. You cannot use more than one invigoration per activation or counteraction, except Stimulated Senses, which can be used once per activation or counteraction in addition to another invigoration.
Whenever a friendly **HAND OF THE ARCHON** operative is shooting with a splinter rifle during an activation in which it hasn't performed the **Charge**, **Fall Back** or **Reposition** action, that weapon has the Accurate 1 weapon rule. Note that operative isn't restricted from performing those actions after shooting.
