Chilltouch - kinda good now

 https://thegmsays.com/chill-touch-dnd-5e-explained/ has a lot of good info, so let's see about Chill Touch. 

I remember reading how it's a Ranged attack (now?). A spectral hand goes out and touches em. 

His description is pretty decent:

In the moonlit graveyard, Elara, a hooded sorcerer, confronted a fearsome ghoul. Whispering incantations, she summoned a spectral hand wreathed in an eerie, blue glow—the embodiment of Chill Touch. The spectral appendage reached towards the undead fiend, fingers extending with ghostly grace. Upon contact, a frigid energy surged, chilling the ghoul to its core. The once-ferocious creature recoiled, weakened, its regenerative abilities temporarily stifled. Elara, shrouded in shadows, seised the moment, exploiting the cantrip’s power to disrupt the undead menace. The spectral hand dissipated, leaving an otherworldly chill in the night air as the battle between life and undeath unfolded in the moonlit graveyard.


Question: Can Chill Touch be used against living creatures, or is it only effective against undead?

Answer: Despite its name, Chill Touch can affect both living and undead creatures. However, its unique ability to impose disadvantage on undead attackers makes it particularly potent against such foes.

Question: How does the “can’t regain hit points” feature of Chill Touch work, and is it effective against creatures with regeneration?

Answer: When Chill Touch hits a target, they can’t regain hit points until the start of the caster’s next turn. This feature is effective against creatures with regeneration, preventing them from healing for a brief period.
