Is there a list of what the classes do?

[Merellin]

Alright, This might be confusing and I'm bad at explaining but, I was wondering if anyone had a list with a quick rundown of all the classes and what they do?

I mean so you dont have to go read through every ability of every class to figure out what they are about, Instead just a quick list of the classes that says what the class does. Like for Fighter it would say it is a full BAB martial class capable of being trained for multiple fighting styles and such..

Sorry if this is a stupid question..

<necromental posted the thread link first>

That link has most of the classes. Here's what it doesn't cover in the first few pages:
Wizard - Arcane prepared caster; generally more fragile than the cleric, but it can fill any role other than direct physical combat (and summons can fill that indirectly) or healing (which it only gets a little of)
Sorcerer - is to Wizard what Oracle is to Cleric
Samurai - Mounted and extremely durable martial
Shaman - Divine caster with spirits... Uh, sorta witch-y and oracle-y?
Slayer - Name a target, get bonuses. Ranger/Rogue hybrid - not as potent as either in their chosen field, but has access to both.
Warpriest - Battle-focused cleric with nerfed casting.
Occultist - weird class with a unique casting rule, has archetypes that can change its focus. Uses magic implements as the source of extra powers. Think psychic knight.
Psychic - Sorcerer with psychic magic
Hunter - Sorta Animal Companion-focused Druid; Ranger with more casting

Each class writeup has a 1-2 paragraph description of what they're typically about:

Barbarian wrote:

Role: Barbarians excel in combat, possessing the martial prowess and fortitude to take on foes seemingly far superior to themselves. With rage granting them boldness and daring beyond that of most other warriors, barbarians charge furiously into battle and ruin all who would stand in their way.

Wizard wrote:

Role: While universalist wizards might study to prepare themselves for any manner of danger, specialist wizards research schools of magic that make them exceptionally skilled within a specific focus. Yet no matter their specialty, all wizards are masters of the impossible and can aid their allies in overcoming any danger.
