Classic D&D: Class based damage

In this variant, the damage a PC does is determined by his class rather than his weapon.
On possibility is to use a PC's HD type for his damage:
| Cleric | 1d6 |
| Dwarf | 1d8 |
| Elf | 1d6 |
| Fighter | 1d8 |
| Halfling | 1d6 |
| Magic-user | 1d4 |
| Thief | 1d4 |
Some people feel this isn't fair to the thief. Perhaps thieves should use 1d6.
How about damage based on both class & weapon? Cross reference the book damage of the weapon with the weilder's class.
The current values are just placeholders until I think about this some more.
Maybe this is too complex?
| 1d4 | 1d6 | 1d8 | 1d10 | |
| Cleric | 1d4 | 1d6 | 1d8 | 1d8 |
| Dwarf | 1d4 | 1d6 | 1d8 | 1d10 |
| Elf | 1d4 | 1d6 | 1d8 | 1d10 |
| Fighter | 1d4 | 1d6 | 1d8 | 1d10 |
| Halfling | 1d4 | 1d6 | 1d8 | 1d10 |
| Magic-user | 1d4 | |||
| Thief | 1d4 | 1d6 | 1d8 | 1d10 |
