D&D 5E Adding proficiency to damage?

+1 to Str or Dex
Choose 1 weapon you are Proficient with, you may add your Proficiency modifier to damage rolls made with this weapon.

I like this -- I'd let it add proficiency in the one weapon if you don't have it already.

I understand wanting to help various martials, but this really leaves clerics and some of the lower-end cantrip users behind. Waiting for potent cantrip to kick in just holds clerics back in the lower tier (and those already limited by cantrips that require a save, rather than an attack roll) when they need it most.

Clerics and Wizards have their own perks that this isn't a concern (for me). They're already bolstered by other spells that enhance them in a variety of other ways, including their damage potential.

I agree about wizards, and I disagree about Clerics. I think further limiteing the damage opprtunities of clerics restricts the possible viable builds.
