Note the 1st: A -lot- of the cast has purchasable itemcasting equipment. This could be quite useful in giving some of the cast more interesting moves. I'll list them below, and include these skills in each character's skillset in brackets; skills are given by who can equip said item. I only bother to list the spells for the Warrior/Hero; Mage, Cleric and Sage also have itemcasting equips, but lord, their skillset's so big already. Also, no weapons, from casual tests, actually have an element; thus Flame Boomerang isn't fire element, despite the name.
Note the 2nd: If you consider any of the female-only equips, you do your own calculations. I don't, really.
Note the 3th: ATK = Weapon ATK + STR. DEF = AGL/2 + Armor DEF.
Note the 4th: I took damage with the personalities they had for me. I may get Ordinary later, it's a hassle though in every regard to try and get that personality so it's not on my list of important things to do. Providing stats for Ordinary if you consider them as alternates; these may not be accurate, as I don't 100% know how DW3 stat growths work.
Note the 5th: Experience is 755000. This is a lot higher than the DW3o version - I think EXP rates were hiked up a bit.
Revelant itemcasts:
Thor Sword: Firebolt. (Hero, Warrior)
Snow Sword: SnowStorm. (Hero, Warrior)
Kings Sword: Infermost. (Hero)
Mist Wand: StopSpell. (Mage, Cleric, Sage)
Sage Wand: HealMore. (Mage, Cleric, Sage)
Sleep Wand: Sleep. (Mage, Cleric, Sage)
Heal Shield: HealMore. (Hero, Warrior)
Status Notes:
These are average status accuracies against endgame randoms.
Beat/Defeat: 93.75+31.25+56.25+62.5+87.5+56.25+68.75+56.25 = 36% accuracy
Sleep, Silence: 62.5+100+50+37.5+75+75+68.75+37.5 = 38% accuracy
DefDown, Blind: 37.5+37.5+37.5+0+12.5+37.5+43.75+37.5 = 69%
Confuse, MPDrain: 93.75+87.5+87.5+87.5+43.75+93.75+93.75+43.75+68.75 = 12.5%
Expel, SpdDown: 43.75+50+50+50.00+37.5+50+37.5+50 = 54%
Personal estimates of average accuracy throughout the game.
Beat: 60%
Stopspell: 70%
Sleep: 70%
Surround: 90% (This resistance mainly pops up endgame. I abused both Defense and Surround.)
Defense: 90%
Confuse: 60% (another one that pops up late, but it's really heavy lategame)
MP Drain: 60%
Expel: 80% (See the note for Blind, except replace with SpdDown.)
SlowDown: 80%
Status: (INCOMPLETE)
Confuse: 50% chance of doing something random. Wears off with time.
Stopspell: Silence. I have never seen this wear off.
Sleep: Sleep. Awaken with time or damage.
Surround: Blind, but quite effective. Does not wear off.
Curse: More potent Confuse, IIRC.
Hero:The Hero can have his personality chosen for him at the beginning of the game; not all personalities are an option from the start, unless I'm mistaken. I'll list the ones that're best:
Valiant: 140% STR/70% AGI/100% VIT/80% INT/70% LUCK
Solitary: 100% STR/110% AGI/120% VIT/110% INT/70% LUCK
Smart: 95% STR/100% AGI/100% VIT/130% INT/90% LUCK
***Sexy: 110% STR/120% AGI/105% VIT/115% INT/120% LUCK - FEMALE ONLY.
Fearless: 95% STR/120% AGI/115% VIT/100% INT/100% LUCK
**Lucky: 100% STR/110% AGI/100% VIT/100% INT/150% LUCK - Not sure this is obtainable from the Personality Generator.

LUCK: 110+30 (77+30)
ATK: 256 (310)
DEF: 211
Equipment:
Kings Swd (120 ATK, itemcast Infermost) [Dragon Swd] [Undead Swd] [Flame Boomerang]
Light Armor (82 DEF, 2/3 damage from magic/Fire/Ice) [Blade Armor (55 DEF, reflects half physical damage dealt back to foe)]
Hero Shield (65 DEF, 2/3 damage from Fire/Ice, stacks) [Heal Shield (50 DEF, itemcast Healmore)] [Magic Shield (25 DEF, 2/3rds damage taken from magic)]
Ortega Helmet (30 DEF, reduce status chance by half) [Great Helmet (45 DEF)]
Crest (+30 LCK, I -think- it immunes ID. If not, it's really really good resist.)
Skillset:
Attack: 111 damage (Valiant: 138 damage)
HealMore: 5/--- MP, approx. 90 HP healing to one.
HealAll: 7 MP, full healing to one
(HealUsAll: 62 MP, full healing to all)
Sleep: 3 MP, chance of sleep to a group, See Status Notes
StopSpell: 3 MP, chance of mute to a group, See Status Notes
(Vivify: 10 MP, Approx. 50% chance of reviving target at half HP.)
[Firebolt: 110 fire damage to a group]
[SnowStorm: 50 ice damage to a group]
[Infermost: 90 wind damage to a group]
Thordain: 30 MP, 190 lightning damage to all
Boom: 9 MP, 60 explosion damage to all
Zap: 8 MP, 70 lightning damage, ST
Firebane: 6 MP, 40 fire damage to a group. (Cheaper Fire-element chipping options exist if needed.)
Opinion: Tanky, mauls pure physical opponents with his Blade Armor thanks to good HP/Def and HealAll (except Lenneth), and makes Fire/Ice users cry. Downside? Slowish (though still better than the non-Sage mages, Dealer and Warrior!), even with a normal personality. Not as bad as a Warrior, though! Also, status tank with ID immunity, making him solid against multiple Heavies. Overall, a solid Heavy, could possibly see a championship if the draw is lucky. Likes itemcasting for a elemental variety, but his physical is his best bet in most cases (Thordain can see him through a magic slapfight if needed).
Warrior:Level: 41 (Just barely got here.)

[Firebolt: 110 fire damage to a group]
[SnowStorm: 50 ice damage to a group]
[Healmore: approx. 90 healing]
Opinion: Poor man's Hero. Gets much worse equipment overall, usually only a bit better in power, and no skillset. Oh, and the stats blow hard. Pathetic AGI, INT, LUCK.

Black Suit (25 DEF) (Evade Suit is only 2 less and supposedly boosts Evasion, but I've -never- seen this kick in even with Thief's speed, so.)
Silver Shield (40 DEF) [Magic Shield (25 DEF, 2/3rds damage taken from magic)] [Dragon Shield (32 DEF, 2/3rds damage taken from fire/ice)]
Mythril Helmet (38 DEF)

EagleEye: Locate nearby towns and castles!!!!!1
Location: Determine your current elevation!!!!1
Tiptoe: Reduce encounter rate!!!!11
Smell: Indicate the remaining number of chests on the floor!!!11
MapMagic: LOCATE SUSPICIOUS OBJECTS.
Attack: 2*45 damage (65 damage, MT)
Opinion: Thief CRIES when all his weapons are either his or the Fighter's, thus rendering them non-unique and thus denying him any claim to them when there's only one ingame. He -cries-. This being said, Falcon Sword gives him... quasi-competent offense, and he's pretty damn durable (better than most classes!). Also has some basic magic tanking options. Light.

Magic Apron (45 DEF, reduce magic damage)
Magic Shield (25 DEF, reduce magic damage)
Mythril Helmet (38 DEF)
Skillset:
Excavate: Dig for items. Not usable in battle, sucks outside of it.
YellHelp: Well, if it's anything like DWM series, it does a ton of dama-...calls an inn or a shop at random. Not in battle. Woo.
Attack: 85 damage.
Opinion: Thief trading speed and defense for damage... except Thief gets a Falcon Sword to jump barely ahead. Yeah. Puny, the stats -blow-.

Opinion: Hates, hates, HATES Thief with a burning passion that cannot and will not be quenched. Also, his defence is shit. Criticals and speed cannot save him. Light, still has decent damage.

Jester may decide to goof-off instead of attack (think Taloon). The effects are kinda random, see below. (all numbers below are out of 100)
Throw Boulder: 30 damage, ST, ITD. (2)
Gibberish Spell: Does nothing (4)
Singing And Dancing: Does nothing (1)

Enrapture enemies: MT stun (lasts one round) (thus duel-useless). (1)

(Expel: 2 MP, remove a group of opponents from battle, See Status Notes chance. (No EXP/Gold reward))
Infermost: 9 MP, ~95 wind damge to a group.
NumbOff: 6 MP, removes numb (paralysis/petrify equivelant), one target.
Antidote: 3 MP, removes poison, one target
(Awaken: 3 MP, removes sleep, one target)
(Sacrifice: 1 MP, if successful, kills all opponents and then self.)
SpeedUp: 3 MP, increase agility of Cleric's team by 50%, stackable to 255.
Opinion: Here's DW3's skillset part 1. Clerics are... simply put, brutal; excellent defense, a passable physical after debuffing, and tons of cheap tricks that make many opponents cry. Sap to boost physicals, wind magic for physical walls, status for irritants, ID for tough opponents, status healing for team fights... his only regrets are not having good HP or status resistance, although he can block ID if he's desperate. Heavy/High Heavy.

Shuffles party order (useless) (shown up once), Full heal ally (eh) (shown up once), Time stops for everyone except Mage for 3 turns (...!) (shown up 3 times), Nothing (shown up 4 times), Confuse All Opponents/Allies/Self (Ignores Immunity, doesn't work on bosses, Permanent?) MT TwinHits on ally team, 100% MT Expel (ignores resistance, you get money from this kill) (shown up twice), MT SpeedUp, Sleep All Allies/Opponents/Self (ignores resistance), "Summoned A Vile Being" (MT Expel, no money/exp as all allies faint), Silent Lake (ignores resistance, permanent), MT 100% ID (ignores resistance) (Witch exploded!)

(Transform: Turns Mage into an ally, including the stats, not including HP/MP)
TwinHits: 6 MP, double target's ATK, not stackable (!!!)
[HealMore: --- MP, ~90 HP healing to one target]
Opinion: DW3 skillset part 2. Bounce -murders- ST spellcasters, the Mage actually gets defensive equipment (WHAT.), and Upper/SlowAll/TwinHits are brutal. Best in a team match, but still murders in a duel. Heavy, that damage/magic null/stat busting is a nasty trinity. Transform makes him -deadly- if used right in a RPGmon - stat buff/debuff, then Transform into the more battle-capable ally or transform to grab the enemy's stats to work with if they're better.
Sage:
Okay, this merits a forenote.
Sages are obtainable in two ways: 1) Level a Jester to 20, jobchange, or 2) Level anyone else to 20, use a Zen Book and jobchange. Zen Books are rare, so I'm presuming Jester to 20.
"Now hold on. Won't this inflate the Sage?" Go look at a Jester's stats at level 41. Yeah. The Sage doesn't really want to have to do this, but it's the only valid option. This being said, getting to L20 is only 32000 EXP, so the worst that happens to Sage is he's short a level.
Level: 38 (Actually hit this right at 710,000 EXP. Huh. Levels slow as shit.)
Stats: Ordinary! (I got seriously lucky on generating Ordinary units. This seriously rarely happens anywhere near as often in game.)

Opinion: ...and meet the lovechild of the Mage and Cleric. Skillset of the gods. Excellent equipment (although status resist is still lacking some). Absurd magic damage, solid physical damage that can be improved, full healing, status whoring of his own... um, yes. This Sage does not disappoint the legendary line of RPG Sages. Heavy/Godlike: fears good status whores but otherwise is rather intimidating.
