[RPG] Is Turn the Tide completely OP

dnd-5epaladin

As an Oath of the Crown paladin I have access to a bonus action called Turn the Tide, In summary:

Turn the Tide. As a bonus action, you can bolster injured creatures with your Channel Divinity. Each creature of your choice
that can hear you within 30 feet of you regains hit points equal to
1d6 + your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) if it has no more than
half of its hit points.

Me and my GM have discussed this through and really think this would be better off as a once per long rest ability. Otherwise it feels like it's going to be really difficult to kill us off during fairly balanced encounters.

My question is, does this scale well as a bonus action because you have to be fairly low HP anyway or is it better to run this as a long rest activity.

You've missed one thing. Turn the Tide uses your Channel Divinity, which you can only do once per short or long rest.

When you use your Channel Divinity, you choose which option to use. You must then finish a short or long rest to use your Channel Divinity again.
