    One solution is to make clear that once the PCs start using “creative” solutions, so will the NPCs. The players usually don’t want the game to devolve to that point either.

      Sure you can do create water in his mouth. Next turn as his free action he swallows, then he attacks you, hits, and you take 2d6 dmg.

      Yup. When I DM my rule of thumb had always been “if you have to argue the point, then it’s just not valid”.

      We’re not struggling creativity, we’re just cutting off rules mangling like this situation.
