I would like to point out something. A wizard can use a sword, or any other weapon for that matter. They are just -4 to hit with any weapon that is not on their listed weapons under their class descriptoions - per page 9 of the PHB.

So if a wizard wants to use a long sword, I let him, just at -4 to hit. At higher levels this is not so bad for the wizard. He is not a fighter, but if he hits, he can do some damage if he runs out of spells.

Thanks for pointing this out I had missed this somehow!!

I like the idea of weapon choices/damage by class.

In case you can use it, here are the weapon choices I allow in my game:

Wouldn't this already be covered by fighters "generally" having a higher strength thus increasing their damage die with their strength bonus if they have one?

I do think the loads of different damage types are a bit of a bog down, I feel like it could be separated into Light, Medium and Heavy weapons.

I also wouldn't mind letting rogues use their dex bonus on to hit rolls if the weapon was appropriate.
