Pretty much anything that utilizes a bonus damage source (Tome of Battle maneuvers, sneak attack, or Dragonfire Inspiration Bard) and nifty tricks (ToB maneuvers; prestige class abilities) to do crazy awesome damage and battlefield control effects with innocuous items.
For example, Bloodstorm Blade gives you the
Throw Anything feat and the ability to re-arrange your weapon-based feats like weapon focus on a whim, and lets you "bounce" your weapon off the enemy back to your hand so you can full attack with the same thrown weapon(s); Master Thrower gives you all sorts of "thrown weapon tricks" for weapons you have weapon focus with, including a free trip attempt on every successful hit, throwing two weapons per attack if they're "little," and attacking touch AC.
Combine with Dragonfire Inspiration Bard (and a hefty amount of Inspire Courage optimization) or Rogue sneak attack and you can have a guy that peppers enemies with spoons for massive damage and tripping, or other such nonsense. It's too cheesy a magical weapon property for my taste, but if you made the spoons Aptitude weapons, you could also get a free Daze effect on every person you hit via the Boomerang Daze feat. If you were size large or larger, you could get the Knockback feat and
Bull Rush every enemy you hit with your thrown spoons. If you had Dungeoncrasher Fighter levels and pushed them back into a wall, you'd be able to inflict even MORE massive damage with your spoons of death.
So yeah, I like ridiculous characters like that.
Last time I made a "Samurai" I used Warblade with a focus on Diamond Mind and Iron Heart, and a sprinkle of White Raven (since he was a deposed lord). Insightful Strike deals (Concentration check) damage, so I always liked the idea of him being able to kill someone with a teacup.
