Improvised weapons

[Xaov]

What are some Improvised weapons your characters have used in various campaigns?

I think the most entertaning one for me was a Half-Orc barbarian using the body of his dead enemy in a fight.

There was another player in our Eberron campaign who used a brick wall as a weapon against a swarm, He pushed it over on top of them

 

[Steverooo]

Manriki-Gusari - A cable, chain, or rope with weights on both ends. Each head strikes as a Light Flail (1D8) and can trip or entangle.

Manacles used as such.

The typical clubs and staves, rocks, large, heavy objects (a certain table comes to mind).

A Shovel.

Arrows - inserted by hand.

Hatpins.

Napkin dispenser (as a missile weapon).

Opponents' swords (Grapple, twist, thrust!)

The walls, floors, and ground (Grapple, immobilize, BASH!)

Various straps, sashes, and slings as... slings!

Nails and horse-chestnuts - as caltrops.

Green Slime - as a food additive!

Ringsaw - garotte.

Various tubes, rolls, powders, pins, etc., as blowguns and/or tubes for delivering powder sprays.

Two-by-fours, etc.

Tree limbs, bent back and held... WHAP!

As above, but spiked (as a Morningstar).

Other deadfalls, pits, snares, and spikes.

Ceilings (Earthquake, Reverse Gravity, etc).

The Funniest One:

The best one I ever heard of was... a PC!

Sword of Slinging: This intelligent magical weapon wields the PC, and attacks his opponents in battle, using him as the weapon.

PC: "Oh, no! Not AGAIN!"

WHAP!

In a Feng Shui game that a flatmate of mine ran, a Jack Burton style Everyman Hero beat 3 guys unconcious with a McDonalds Happy Meal.

What? Nobody ever ripped an enemy's arms off and beat him with them?

Did it with a zombie a long while ago.

 

[Stormrunner]

Mounted a Bag of Devouring on a 10-foot pole and used it as a Butterfly Net of Devouring. Worked too well, so the DM started giving it a steadily-increasing chance of "indigestion" (burping back up previously-swallowed monsters). Way back in 1rstEd days.

Hmm...ogre weilding petrified person?

I had a rat-on-a-rope that I was tossing down the hall in front of us in a dungeon we knew to have gelatinous cubes in it. Down one hall there was a wet SPLORK! sound and the rat suspended in midair ... the DM informed us, "You did 1 hp of damage to a gelatinous cube with your rat-on-a-string!"

I therefore wrote "I did damage with a rat!" in the campaign log, and occasionally refer to it when I need a pick-me-up.
