My newest adventurer is bashing skulls in with a *bronze statue* and a chest full of corpses + one stone statue (I had to put the statue in a bag first to fit it in the chest. I was a bit amazed it would actually work). He's having no problems carrying around stuff that weighs tons, as I put some points in his strength.

He's also an elephant man.

I killed a king with a candy crown with an image of him on it. Then wore it and -wished- I could sit on his thrown.

I also had a long-living adventurer who happened to use teeth to kill people. I even killed a dragon, though it cost me my legs.

If any of them are made of fire, throw stuff, run, and think non-flammable thoughts.

Rip the enemy's limbs off and beat them to death with it.

Accurate, even down to the head exploding.

Personally I once used a chest which I filled with corpses of my enemies as I went on, along with other heavy objects. Went to the point I got it jammed into a lord's torso.

Coins, as has been already said, are also pretty nice, though I find they're better as substitutes for a ranged weapon than as a bludgeon - they're basically shurikens. I never really managed to kill anyone with coins, but they cripple people really badly and make them easy enough to finish off. For melee severed limbs are pretty good - guts are good too.

I've got a world with dust clouds that cause paralysis, suffocation, and blinding.

I'm gonna coat things in it.

How do you do that without jumping in, does it get coated from just being thrown in the cloud and wouldn't it effect your hands?

1. Drop something in front of the cloud
2. Wait for it to pass
3. Retrieve item

If that dust is husking, then that would probably work. I wish you could mutilate yourself, it would be great to cut off infected fingers.

Only in dwarf fortress do you actually have a cause to amputate a limb; infected wounds on fingers that wont heal, and no healing potions.

How about beating people with stacks of meat?
I do actually like copper shields, because of how dense they are, for bashing weapons. Always good to have a shield on you.
Your backpack, depending on how much swag you carry around with you, will also make a wonderful bag of hurt.

All the hardasses seeking a glorious warrior's death must have incurable stubbed toes.

When I get to it I should try "toriko weapons". I found a pestle in a keep and I think it would be good to combo that with another culinary item like a mug or ladle or something. I feel like night creatures are pretty rare which sucks because they are really good chef villains.
