After seeing all the sort fun/goofy topics people made, I was wanting to create my own by stuck on ideas. Suddenly it hit me! Magical, Arm-Mounted Chainsaws! Certainly more than a little bit on the silly side, but that's the point.

*This weapon is only ever found as magical weapon. The price of a +1 enhancement bonuses is included in this figure.
Gator Blade:
This weapon is made of shaped piece of wood about the length of the user’s forearm that is strapped on with leather bands and held in place with a handle at the end, much like a Heavy Shield. Mounted securely to this piece of wood is a metallic box that extends from the wrist halfway to the elbow. Contained inside the box is an axel and wheel assembly that has been magically enabled to rotate at high speeds. The wheel drives a chain with series of sharp cutting edges along a grooved track that extends out from the box, beyond the user’s fist a length approximately equal to his forearm, when the weapon appropriately sized. The motion allows the teeth of the chain to bite into whatever material they come into contact with, providing the slashing power of a much larger weapon.
Because it must be strapped to the forearm, a gatorblade may never be gripped with two hands to receive 1.5 times the normal strength bonus. However this fact also means it is also extremely hard to disarm the user, they receive a +4 bonus on disarm checks made against them.A gatorblade is particularly unwieldy and hard to use,all penalties for non-proficiency and inappropriate sizing are doubled.
The gatorblade gets its name from the fact that some think the teeth of its chain look like the back of an alligator, gliding just beneath the surface of the water. Due to the nature of the weapon, a gatorblade is only ever found as a magic weapon and has an enhancement bonus of at least +1. The blade chain will begin or stop rotating with a command word. While rotating it makes a distinctive whirring noise that imposes a -20 penalty on move silently checks, this penalty does not apply when the weapon is not rotating.
As with all magic weapons the gatorblade ceases to function in an anti-magic field, and will not rotate. A gatorblade that is not rotating, or that has a worn out chain will function as an improvised bludgeoning weapon that causes 1d6 damage. A gatorblade bestows magical properties upon its chain just as a projectile weapon bestows its properties upon ammunition. In the cases of properties that do not specify if the property is bestowed or not, due to the property being melee-weapon only, it can generally be assumed that the property is bestowed.
Gatorblade Chain
A gatorblade chain is snapped into place on a gator blade and essentially acts as the weapon's ammunition, though both the base and the chain are treated as melee weapons for the purpose of making improvements. A chain will typically last 25 attacks before it needs to be replaced, at which point it becomes worthless. Changing the chain on a gatorblade is a full-round action that provokes an attack of opportunity. For the purposes of overcoming damage reduction, all attacks made with the gatorblade are considered made of the material the chain is constructed from. A gatorblade chain takes the magical properties of the gatorblade much in the same way a projectile weapon's ammunition does.
