      The rules allow any character to wield any weapon. Usually characters weapons are chosen based on race, class, stats, and the whims of the DM.

      Yeah, only for the last 23 years or so.

      In the most recent ruleset, certain Divine Domains such as “War” and “Tempest” get proficiency with martial weapons including swords.
