Give me your most unusual weapon ideas!

I'll keep this short and sweet.

Signature weapons have always had a special place in my heart for me.
Therefore, I am trying to think of odd, unusual weapons (or other
items, if you have any ideas). And for this, I'd like to ask if you
have any ideas.

They can be normal weapons with unusual characteristics (e.g., a flint
knife), or they can be totally bizarre weapons in their own right
(porcupine quills?). They could be odd by their context (a human
specializing in the dwarven urgosh) or ordinary items not meant for
combat (a xbow bolt used for melee, perhaps, or a scalpel out of a
healing kit).

In invite you to let your imaginations run wild. They don't have to be
practical weapons; that's why they'd be so unique. Just throw out
anything at all.

One character of one of my players often threw coins at his enmies,
usually silver incase they were lycanthropes. I think he actually
started it because he was up against some lycanthropes and didn't have
any silver weapons. Of course this was back in the "dinner plate" era
of 1/10 pound coins. I basically considered it like throwing a rock.
d3 damage, 10' range increments. For some strange reason he seemed to
roll 20's whenever he did this (his normal attacks seemed sub par in
comparison). He had a good strength so they actually did good damage,
and I was using crits on backed up 20's back then too.

Then there's always the other fun improvised weapon if you are larger
than your opponents, you pick up the dead body of one of your enemies
and beat them with it. alternately if you are the same size, you just
rip a limb off and beat them with it. Then there's always bowling with
Gnomes.

Well, of course this has been done before (R.A. Salvatore's cleric
Cadderly uses one) but I do wonder what the stats for a yo-yo would be
like... I'm not surprised if it's in one of the myriad books out there,
though.

Exotic weapon
Bludgeoning damage
Uses DEX instead of STR to determine whether you hit; adds STR bonus to
damage
Within 5 ft, can use either STR or DEX to modify attack roll (by
holding it in your hand and hitting someone with it).
Range of 10 ft, but threatens AoO only up to 5 ft
1d4 damage, 18-20 crit range
Takes a full round action to wind back up if a natural 1 is rolled.

I figure the low damage is compensated by the reach and the idea that
you can use "weapon finesse" without the feat on a yo-yo. Though...
maybe that's too much compensation. A rogue, for example, would depend
on sneak attack damage and not worry about the weapon's damage to begin
with.

I'd love to see a halfling using a yo-yo... especially a halfling
rogue... that would be interesting.
So whaddaya think?

How about a long, hollow stick, with a small net on one end,
and a drawstring on other that can be used to draw the net
tight.

Globes of alchemists fire, holy water, or acid could be placed
in the net.

Upon hitting an opponent with a melee touch attack, the attacker
delivers fire, holy water or acid damage.

Perhaps the net is made out of steel (like chain mail) so it
is more durable.

It takes a full round action to reload the net.

Hey, this one's *really* cool. There should also be some sort of
effect on AoOs, both those given and received, and anyone entering the
"hula-ing" character's space would risk damage (e.g. from attempting to
grapple).

There's an old anime series called "Fist of the North Star" where one of the female characters had a set of killer yo-yos, which sprouted a series of
blades as they spun. She was quite proficient in slicing and dicing her opponents with them.

Jade:

http://www.gemstone.org/gem-by-gem/english/jade.html

http://www.travelchinaguide.com/intro/arts/jade.htm

hardness 6.5-7

Not an ideal weapon material, but it has been used and is distinctive.
Performance should be like flint, but a bit better.

In order of suitability:

obsidian (glass) - not crystaline - brittle

flint (or agate) - cryptocrystaline (interlocked microcrystaline) -
tough, for a rock

jade - two minerals, one cryptocrystaline, one with fiberous,
intertwined crystals - very tough, for a rock

None of these will hold up as well as bronze, iron, or steel over time;
mainly because the metals can be sharpened in the field.

Is that the same thing as what a bad guy used in the James Bond film
"Octopussy"? It certainly looked like a giant yo-yo with blades.

A cleaver makes a pretty good weapon anyway. I'd probably just stat it
as a hand axe though.

Another good tool, probably just stated as a mace, although you could

LOL! That might actually be effective, make it like a morning star on
the bottom and sprinkle pepper on your enemies at the same time. Of
course like most Techno-Gnome inventions it could easily backfire,
getting pepper in your own eyes, and making you sneeze a lot.

Having just watched "Merlin" last night; "The Singing Sword"

The "Singing" refers to a distinctive twang, but D&D being what it is;

The Singing Sword that sings:

"Achy, Breaky Heart" ... heart seeking

"Sesame Street" ... +1 to knowledge, local navigation

.... off key, always. -4 to friend and foe concentration checks

.... like Slim Whitman. Make fortitude save or stun one round. Martian
heads explode.

"Indiana Jones Theme" ... +1 luck bonus, all saves.

Sorry, I realized that I got that order of suitability backwards.

Add to that, jade is scarce enough to be considered a gemstone. A jade
weapon should be valuable in it's own right.

Flint is fairly common, and is found worldwide. Characters may have a
piece for starting fires. The working characteristics are good, too,
once you have the technique - the rapid one is a strike and cleave,
like gem cutting. Flint nodules should have good trade value to
flint-based economies.

Obsidian is scarcer than flint, tends to be volcanic. Glass is neither
plentiful nor cheap in real-world medieval times.

Some people don't know it, but the yo-yo TOY was derived from an

Two come to mind.

In the Brian Daley novel The Doomfarers of Coramonde, a very minor
character fancies himself something of a duellist. He fights with
two swords, and has had them custom made so they fit in a single
scabbard. One side of each hilt is flattened so they can fit
together. Impractical, I'm sure, but he wasn't the most practical
character in the world anyway.

Doomfarers also had a couple of cool magical swords. The less
flashy one is the one I preferred. Called Bar or Neverdull,
I believe, it's only real enchantment was durability - it
wouldn't break or dull, and that was pretty much it. It had
something of a reputation because its wielders tended to
do very brave things without receiving much acclaim.

My other example comes from my pal Bill Svitavsky. He told
me about an old AD&D game in which a barbarian or fighter
character kept getting chained up in various dungeons. Having
an 18/00 strength, he invariably broke the chains. Then he
always had to beat a bunch of guards to death with the
remnants of the chains around his wrists before he could
find his gear. This got to be so common that eventually he
just gave in and took Weapon Proficiency - Manacles.

I like both these. I swear I've heard of the can of mace which flings
a mace when used before.

It reminds me of a favorite "artifact" I had back in 2e days. It was a
buzz mace. You threw it like a club, and it took off like a wire
guided rocket at whoever you targeted, had a firey explosion when it
hit (something like an extra 3d6 damage in 5'r), then returned. It did
have a drawback in that it made a very loud buzzing noise whenever you
used it, and you didn't really want to use it in hand to hand.
