    It's because fighters get bonuses to their damage and hit rolls while mages get penalties. Giving a 2d12 sword to a mage can make him deal around 14-20 damage but giving a 1d12 sword to a fighter can deal around 17-18... and that's not counting the critical hit rolls wherein the fighter obviously has an advantage over the mage.

    In short, it all comes down to the character and not on the weapon.
