It would be less annoying if it let those one-shots happen and thus shortened those combats. Second continually renewing THP just feels like swimming against the tide - it's a particularly annoying effect for me as a DM. Thirdly it almost forces me to play the NPCs well, which gives me a lot less control over pacing and world building. Anything but a near-full focus fire effect feels almost painful as the DM. This isn't to say that my monsters don't focus fire, but how seriously they take it depends a lot on who they are and their general tactics; special forces will isolate and destroy, wolves herd and pick on the isolated, guard go almost man to man with the enemies and expect to win. But with everyone getting regenerating hit points all except one of those approaches feels just plain bad.It's not the power (Peace may be more powerful). It's how irritating it feels.</blockquote>
