Goblins and trolls I would expect but slaad, not so much. Even if you include slaad in the sums you're still only looking at around 0.03% of creatures in the MM being regenerating creatures, and that's low balling the monster count by using page count instead of creature count. There simply aren't that many regenerating creatures in the game to make Chill Touch an OP spell. It's like claiming that the Person spells (Charm Person, Hold Person) are OP in an all humanoid campaign. There's certainly an argument to be made there. However, if you run a campaign more akin to the distribution of the MM, then those spells suddenly aren't all that great, because in the vast majority of encounters they are essentially useless.</blockquote>
