Sorcerer
Sorcerers are natural, potent spellcasters who instead of relying on knowledge like wizards - siphon their power off plethora of different sources, unleashing devastating storms, healing their allies or conjuring many beneficial effects that can largely influence whatever's happening on the battlefield. Ability to operate such sources might be inherited, granted by a deity, might arise through the contact with powerful psionic entities or very frequent interaction with other planes of existence. While they are powerful spellcasters, fragility is their bane - sorcerers aren't skilled in wearing armour, and it hinders their magical ability, hence they do best while unleashing their powers from behind their allies - or from a solid distance, at least.

Weapon Proficiency - Dagger, Sling, Quarterstaff, Light Crossbow, Hand Crossbow

Wizard
Wizards study magic in their academies, dusty studies and various other places filled with knowledge. Both sages and dropouts manipulate the Weave through the usage of ancient incantations, witty connections of magically meaningful words, prefixes, suffixes... somehow not getting lost in all that! Through the existence of many schools of magic wizards are very flexible in their doings - able to defend themselves and allies with protective barriers, summoning destructive elemental forces to their aid, and some schools are even able to connect this with sword-fighting!

Clerics serve divine powers - no matter whether good, evil or reserved towards others. They're holy men of Toril, sacrificing their lives to further the goal of their divine Patrons.
