Invisibility and Cover Maneuver

[Christopher]

What happens if a character that is invisibile (to all relevant targetting senses) tries to use the Cover maneuver with an attack that is not Invisibile?

1) The Character stays invsible until he actually fires the shot

2) The Character/his weapon/his charged attack becomes visible the second he readies his shoot and stays that way until he actually fires it.

3) He can't cover at all, but use a held action.

4) "GM decision based on SFX, dramatic realism, gamebalance and all the other stuff."

Re: Invisibility and Cover Maneuver

 

If a character who is Invisible uses an attack or weapon to Cover a target, the attack or weapon becomes peceivable as soon as he starts to perform the Maneuver and remains so until either (a) the Attack Roll for Cover fails, or ( he executes on a successfully-performed Cover. (Of course, if the attack or weapon has Invisible Power Effects at the appropriate level, it will not become perceivable in this situation.) As always, the GM can alter this rule based on common sense, dramatic sense, special effects, game balance, and similar considerations.
