Secret Protection is at page 13 of the Wizard's rulebook, but isn't listed in the TOC.
It says...
Quote:
A player is permitted to use the “secret protection” method to mislead
his opponent. He may say “secret protection” and either (a) roll the dice
but cast no spell at all, conserving his strength, or (b) do another spell that
produces no visible result, such as a Creation spell to produce something
inside a shadow hex where the enemy can’t see it.
It is a good idea to keep a turn-by-turn record of what spells are cast,
especially if the players are using a lot of secret spells.

So obviously you don't have to tell the enemy what your current ST is.
Q2: Can a figure who's layering Stone Flesh with enchanted armor choose to fall down and play dead when it takes zero damage from a hit?
