D&D 5E - Chill touch vs Troll regeneration | Page 3

By the book, chill touch would completely shut down a troll's regen, and I see no reason not to go by the book on this. Fire bolt is a better spell 95% of the time and also shuts down troll regen; why deprive the chill touch user of the one benefit chill touch offers?

Yes, nothing major wrong with that cantrip.

Allowing a cantrip to do much of anything against an epic threat, however...

Or a solo threat for that matter, regardless of epicness.

One troll, two trolls, fine.

The troll king surrounded by troll bodyguards, also fine.

But the Troll Elder taking on the whole party by himself? Not a chance.

The cantrip simply isn't balanced for the situation where there simply is only one, very obvious, target to shoot at.
