Does using oneself as weapon count? My wizard was all set to jump into a spa pool that contained a hostile nereid while simultaneously unleashing the thunderwave spell as he hit the water as a kind of improvised half-elven depth charge but the other members of the party were concerned that enemies in nearby rooms might have been alerted (which seemed valid enough for me to call it off - although I would have liked to have seen the results).

I don't really think of myself as a particularly unique GM but I don't think that any players that I've GMed for have ever come away from the game thinking I was unfair to them or dismissive of their ideas.. I try to say "yes" or "yes, but" to the players who want their characters to take an unusual (or at least unanticipated) action and, if the circumstances really preclude their idea, I go out of my way to explain why it's impossible. Once again, I'm not saying this is in any way unique but I GM a lot of convention games and I really want all the players to walk away having enjoyed their sessions as much as possible.

As a frequent GM who plays PCs only rarely, I try to play characters with a unique personality trait compared to the rest of the group just to mix things up a bit. For instance, in a group of grimdark assassins that were each trying to atone for some dark secret, I played a plucky character intent on seeing the world outside his isolated clan. I might have played a grim assassin if the rest of the party were a bunch of heroic do-gooders. I try to imagine a type of character that might be a Bones to the group's Spock, or vice-versa.
