D&D 5E Was there a mistake with the sorcerer weapons? (sorcerer and simple weapons)

I'm just happy that 5E doesn't require sorcerers to wear 20+ belts....
Maybe they could have belts as a spell focus. And then at least they'd have a reason to wear +20 belts.

Q: [MENTION=32417]MikeM[/MENTION]earls Sorcerer equipment says "(b) any simple weapon" But they don't have simple weapon prof. Were they supposed to?
A: [MENTION=13310]Yeti[/MENTION]Moose they did at one point! I remember writing that blurb, but the weapons listed under profs are the intended ones.

Well, that's a fun little quirk of 5E. A sorcerer can start with a weapon that he or she doesn't know how to use. I can see plenty of RP potential for that.
Anyone can start with a weapon they're not proficient in!
Assuming you're DM allows you to start with Gold per Class rather than relying on Class & Background equipment.

But that is different, basically the equipment packages paint you a picture of the class, you wouldn't expect a rogue to receive plate on her starting package do you? It is the same thing, the package is misleading wether you are a new player or someone comming from a previous edition.

It would be more like a rogue starting with a chain shirt, which is now classed as medium armor, after having been worn by millions of rogues ever since 3E.
