        There are rules for drowning. I believe the shortest amount of time before someone runs out of air and falls unconscious is 60 seconds, so 10 rounds.

          That’s if you have air in your lungs, or rather, at least not water. The common create water trope this meme is mocking is a player wanting to create water directly in someone’s lungs. At that point, you’re actively drowning.

            Calling lungs an “open container” is a massive stretch and not even technically close considering all the ways the body has to obstruct the entrance of foreign materials

          Even if we do a version where the NPC is coughing up gallons of water, that’s effectively a save or die spell. The NPC can’t cast, fight effectively or run away.

          If you allow that usage then create water becomes one of the most powerful spells in the game.

      I allow for creativity, but doing something cool without resources requires to be lucky. Either you use resources (abilities, spell slots, items, weapons, terrain, etc) or you hope to get lucky on a low chance plan.
