==Magic and Rogues== Rogues and Magic Unlike in the v3.5 rules, Rogues do not have the skill to detect magic in traps or disarm magic traps. They may not use a magical device. The exeption to this rule is when the trap has a mechanical component that is not magical or when a magical device is deemed more mechanical than magical. Arthur C. Clarke's 3rd Law by the British writer and scientist Arthur C. Clarke 3.Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. a statement in a 1942 story by Leigh Brackett: "Witchcraft to the ignorant, .... Simple science to the learned".[2] 2.^ "The Sorcerer of Rhiannon", Astounding February 1942, p. 39. , was proposed by Arthur C. Clarke in the essay "Hazards of Prophecy: The Failure of Imagination", in Profiles of the Future (1962).<ref>"'Hazards of Prophecy: The Failure of Imagination'" in the collection Profiles of the Future: An Enquiry into the Limits of the Possible (1962, rev. 1973), pp. 14, 21, 36.</ref> The second law is offered as a simple observation in the same essay; its status as Clarke's Second Law was conferred on it by others. Clarke's Three Laws are three "laws" of prediction formulated by the British writer and scientist Arthur C. Clarke. They are: 1.When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right; when he states that something is impossible, he is probably wrong. 2.The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible. 3.Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
