Ah I see.
But I am still a little worried about the idea that you can create a character that (more or less ) only relies on a single abiliy score for succes in combat. As I see it all classes should be constructed so that they use several ability scores on a regular basis.
I like the fluff in the idea, but the minmaxer in me tells me that the idea is dangerous.

On the other hand classes are now free to focus on ability score that fit the character/class rather than all pallies needing a high str to use melee weapons.
So now pallies can focus on con, cha, and wis abilities which always seemed a better match anyway. Basically the class can built to use 2 or more stats that fit the class.

I see your point, but I am a little afraid that all the fighters in my game will end up as dextrous weaklings if the players discover that dexterity has more uses than strength.
But I guess that you can rebalance the game by reducing the damage dealt by dexterity-based weapons. If my character chooses to attack with a rapier then I can afford to dump his strength and upgrade his wisdom instead, but doing I have to give up some of his damage output.

Traditionally yes the longsword indeed does more damage than a rapier, and the same for the shortsword and dagger.
