Probably everyone has one of those stories on bizzare weapons forms. In a 
campaign I was in, the party was up against some shadows that could only be
hit by magic weapons. Another character who was the biggest, strongest
fighter in the party (the 'brick') didn't have a magic weapon and couldn't
do anything. He then had the brilliant idea of putting his magic gauntlet
on the end of a dragon bone, instant magic club (he had proficiency in club).

The DM, after much dodging and whining, agreed that this could hit the shadows
but with no magic pluses.

Any other unusual weapons stories out there???
