Just because it is less effective as devoting a lot of effort to a great sword doesn't mean it is ineffective. That's the conceit of the tunnel vision optimizer.As a DM, I'd encourage the PC to not not dual-wield a pair of flails (a light weapon really would be better in the off hand), but there's nothing wrong with dual wielding in general. Plus, a lot depends on the campaign. If you're fighting huge beasts a lot, sure a greatsword is better. But if the campaign deals mostly with humanoid-types of opponents that depend on their own weapons, a disarm/strike routine could be pretty effective. It does damage and denies return attacks.Outclassed by whose standards and for doing what? Is the disarming flail-wielder having fun? If so, who cares if the wizard can do some pretty powerful things?</blockquote>
