Stealth...

[Ander]

1.) Stealth's first function is to make its user invisible. As soon as the user launches an attack, the invisibility cannot be maintained and is dropped. For example, if Charles were to fire an energy beam, the very second it leaves his hand, he becomes visible to everyone. Or, if Charles were to be invisible right in front of someone, and he attempted to punch them, as soon as he reared his fist back, he would become visible. Whether the attack is physical or ki, as soon as it begins, you lose your invisibility. It doesn't matter if it hits or not: all attack attempts count.


2.) Mal is correct. Ki can sound like pretty much however you want it to sound. There are stock sound effects the show used, and you can follow those or not. We really don't care. Here's an example of a standard energy attack from the series, which starts at about 2:45. The sound quality is kind of crappy, but it's the general idea.


3.) While attacks must be made while you are visible, you can cloak their sound. Your enemy can still see you, but they can't hear your attacks. There is no time limit when it comes to silencing attacks. If you had a machine gun that fired 30,000 bullets, every single one wouldn't make a sound. However, I'd have to agree that silencing an object outside of your body would require a move. You could silence a ki blast created by your own energy, but to silence a weapon that is independent of your physical or spiritual being would require a Custom Tech. So if you wanted to silence a gun, you'd make a Custom Tech for it.
