Is a duel weilding barbarian viable? Say a Sword Breaker Dagger, which adds +4 to disarm/sunder a bladed weapon and a flail which is also used to disarm. I would like to go more ultility barbarian and disarm/trip for the group to open up AoO and obviously to make things easier to hit. Is it even possible to attack with main hand and trip/disarm with off hand? Unless someone has a better combo for doing this other then the listed items.

 

-Thanks.

5e:  You should be able to.  in 5e you don't need a two-weapon fighting feat to be decent at fighting with two weapons, it just means you don't get your Stat bonus to damage on your off hand damage roll.  I'd assume you could easily trip with your off-hand attack.

 

Pathfinder:  I hate that I'm even saying this.  Look into the Ever Flowing Monk.  Wait for a monster to attack you, deflect it's attack, trip, stomp, give party AOs, proffit.  I have never played this character, so I cannot tell you feats to take or how to actually build the character, but I have seen this character played at least twice in Pathfinder games I have played in.  If you want a completely broken character to play that does exactly what you want, look into the Ever Flowing Monk.  I'm sure it's easy enough to figgure out.  EDIT:  Ok, sorry, not "exactly" what you want (i over looked that you want to dissarm as well), but when every monster is laying on their back and you are literally roffle stomping them as your party gets AOs, you wont need to worry about what weapons the enemy is using.  Most of the time.
