One of the things that I quite like about Dungeon World is that there's none of this bullshit. Fighter hits you with a weapon? does a d10 damage. Wizard hits you with a weapon? does a d4.
Why? Because a small knife in the hands of someone that reallly knows how to use it is going to be way deadlier than an axe that the wizard can barely lift.
