If anything a wizard can have a much more superior weapon for when AoOs are provoked. I should also point out I play a half-orc wizard who has proficiency with the greataxe. Simply the fact that he is a half-orc with a greataxe and no visible armor makes people mistake him for a barbarian all the time and level Will saves at him instead of Fort saves. There is much to be said for looking like a fighter sometimes. An elf with a longsword and a longbow who wears a chain shirt might be a ranger as much as a fighter/wizard. Plus, it gives the wizard a way to help out in combats when casting spells really isn't very effective (like high SR creatures or targets with lots of energy resistances.</blockquote>
