He specifically stated that the rules update from Essentials either replaced or confirmed his house rule. Since the rules update is free and part of the core, what you were hinting at (what I believe is sometimes called the "Oberoni Fallacy") doesn't come into play.And since both have stated that they now use some form of the revised Skills DCs chart (either from an Essentials rulebook or from the rules update document), the only real question is whether or not the treasure placement and magic item rarity scheme can be deemed to be houserules if they are ignored in a post-essentials game.I don't believe so, as the documents from which those come have not been updated (well, magic item rarity has been introduced in the october update, but that's about it, and that's pretty much an esthetic change for most games).</blockquote>
