Agree, but there should be option for real lead bullets made for sling for d6 damage.Sling should just have infinite ammo, since you can pick up a pebble nearly anywhere.
Why is that a shortswod and scimitar problem? It's precisely why they would all be 1d6, so someone can choose what they want for flavour.then you have a problem with shortsword/scimitar.
why should they stay at 1d6 as they have both finesse and light properties?
also dagger is too strong with d4 with it being simple weapon and having light, finesse and thrown properties.
better is to boost str based weapons.
Maybe, but personally I'd like to see more done with Str in general. A big part of the reason Dex is so powerful is because it also helps out with initiative, AC, one of the most useful saving throws, and Stealth, which is one of the most useful skills. If you're not a Str-focused melee warrior, Str is near useless - but every PC can benefit a lot from a high Dex. If Str had more utility and out of combat uses, the balance would even up a lot.the base damage die needs to be bigger for STR only weapons as they are not as versatile that they can be used by both stats.

because you now have d6 finesse weapons with and without light trait, and that light trait has to cost something(usually a smaller damage die)Why is that a shortswod and scimitar problem? It's precisely why they would all be 1d6, so someone can choose what they want for flavour.
Just give rapiers the versatile feature in return for the lower damage die.because you now have d6 finesse weapons with and without light trait, and that light trait has to cost something(usually a smaller damage die)
What about 5E weapons is so compelling that you'd want it preserved?The fix is obvious. Stop trying to maximize your damage output.
