Next footstep (or 1 round of movement) makes no sound.
The gene-psion's next footstep makes no sound whatsoever, or they may
extend the effect to up to one full round of movement. While Soft-Step
is active, their footsteps cannot be heard by any ear within 60 ft.
Pressure plates, trip-wires, and floor sensors that detect weight or
contact are NOT affected (those detect pressure, not sound). The effect
ends after one round of movement or when the gene-psion chooses to end
it, whichever comes first.

Notes
Effect: Footsteps produce no sound for one round of movement or until ended.
Inaudible to any ear within 60 ft. Pressure plates, trip-wires, and
weight sensors are NOT fooled (they detect pressure, not sound).
Ends after 1 round of movement or when gene-psion chooses.
