    My tabletop 3.5 game is currently in a ruined temple half-filled with water befouled by mummies, zombie frogs and naga pee. If you slip and fall underwater, there's a chance you swallow some and have to make a save against nausea. So at one point recently, our game log mentioned a character "blowing bubbles and chunks".

    Thri-Keen sir. Thri-keen. Nothing beats jumping farther than you can run with Sudden Leap.

    May not Sudden Leap to the enemy's archery specialist from the edge of his first range increment (who has Far Shot).
    May not then use my Belt of Battle to activate Inferno Blade.
    Afterwards, may not then use Time Stands Still, with 4 Keen Scimitars.

    I think the answer to "how many" is "far too".

    Anyway, have a couple more:
    * I may not make a Reverse Gravity trap in the middle of the town square
    ** Nor may I make a bunch of Darkness and Daylight traps scattered throughout the town
    *** OK, no more traps in populated areas
    **** No more traps, period
