D&D 5E And the award for "Best Improvised Weapon" goes to....

Pigs.

In a Wilderlands campaign, we were defending the city of Tell Qua from a siege by a large, evil army. Outnumbered and desperate, we placed all the town’s pigs in the killing ground of the main barbican. When the bad guys broke through the outer gate they were stampeded by frenzied porkers.
Not sure how effective it was, but it was fun.

PS for those of historical inclination, King John’s siege of Rochester Castle in 1215 also made use of pigs, albeit in a different way.

Thus we were saved by our paladin beating some werewolves to death with silver candlesticks in the inn that we claimed for ourselves afterwards

In the common room. By the Paladin. With a candlestick.

Man... Beating your enemies with your enemies seems to be a major theme. I wonder if it's possible to build a subclass around that?

At one Winter Fantasy, my 4e table's Barbarian killed two Warforged bodyguards while wielding the Enchantress they were supposed to be guarding. (He had grappled her and picked her up to disrupt the ritual she was casting. Unknown to us the "bodyguards" were Minions!)

Fighter base class, Tavern Brawler feat as a subclass feature, Drunken Master Monk dodge-and-weave ability, Monk 'push the foe' ki ability aim-able at another foe in range (both take collision damage equal to falling the distance pushed?) ... there might be a subclass to be made after all.
