Theyre not the same thing.Its easy to 'ping' a long rest at the end of a session, and many tables run that way, but you dont have to do it. Just ensure your players are recording resource use during the session (and make a note in your DMs notes at the end of the session to keep them honest). At the end of the session ask each player what they have left in the tank, and record it in your notes.At the start of a session I'll make a point of asking my players questions about how many slots they have left etc (so I know as well, and to compare with my own notes).It also refreshes their own minds, and reminds them how low on juice they are.Ill also for HP totals (and other resource totals) during the session. Plus I'll make a note each time the Paladin burns a slot to smite, or the BM uses a sup die just to keep an eye on them. I also regularly audit character sheets. Heck; I once had a DM who had his own photocopier and he used to photocopy your character sheet every few months (which was kind of cool becuase you then had a record of your PCs advancement.Im not suggesting players cheat (although it does happen) but some guys bookeeping is better than others. Doing the above nips both problems in the bud before they happen, and lets the players know you're watching them.</blockquote>
