BUT the final throw relies on the throwing skill of... Well, of a peasant. They need to succeed on a ranged attack against their target, which seems to be forgotten. With an unwieldy, non-weapon implement. Basically, this is a good way to get some peasants to kill themselves with a nuke.Wasn't that how it was originally used?
Put a badass PC with Weapon Focus (Throwing Poles) and a high BAB at the end, though...
No, it's an arbitrarily high number of peasants in a line passing an iron pole from one to the next, from beginning to end, in about three seconds, then throwing it at arbitrarily high velocity. It abuses some DnD rules about readying actions and such.It's this.

2 words: peasant railgun.Pft, at lvl 20 a good leader in charge of a Kingdom can attract tens of thousands of lvl1 commoners to his cause.
I can almost hear the thousands of ineffectual *whiffs* as their crudely made pitchforks glance off of their enemy's masterworked mithril armour now.
For some reason all the peasants in one of my DM's games are not to be messed with. He makes all of them uber death machines just to deter us from bugging them. The last one we messed with was apparently an epic-level monk. He rolled a strength roll and succeeded at lifting an entire barn off of its foundation and throwing it at us.
In Skyrim, except for NPC souls, the soul just seems to be proportional to the toughness of the critter. Which is why Mammoths get grand souls but giants only get Common souls.But that makes no sense.
Just bringing this up, D&D has had intelligent weapons for decades. Frequently they're smarter than the Fighter using them!But vealsouls
Also I doubt a child's soul would do much enchanting work. Gotta get better souls than that!
