Halfling
I played a halfling once in a party with a half-orc ranger/barbarian. Used me as a weapon. I took damage, but I flanked the incoming enemy and it worked out.

53. Flaming pile-of-rags-that-used-to-be-your-clothes. Monk in our low-level party killed a swarm of nasty bugs with it in our low-level campaign, after the gelatinous cube ruined his clothes.

My wife's character in my game would take issue with 4--she once used a table as a bludgeon against a priestess of Shar. (I still remember her asking "So, what's my attack bonus with a table?" )

Back on topic:

55. Beer! (Either throw it in their eyes, or watch them frantically try to slurp it off the floor, depending on their level of thirst....)

57. Bag of flour (Does impressive damage when thrown, AND creates a smokescreen of sorts)
