I'm sure most people know that if you level all characters to the same level, that the Wanderer and Pyromancer have the most stats and the the Sorcerer has the least. Now the Wanderer and Pyro are just 1-2 points above most but the Sorcerer is very deficient.
Now the stat that makes the difference here is Resistance. But I decided to just quickly make one character as a sorcerer and one as a wanderer which both start at level 3 and have the largest gap of total points at the same level. When unequiping all items, the sorcerer had only 12 on physical damage resistance and the wanderer had 22
Now I am new with Dark Souls, but from playing Demon Souls I remember that soul level determined physical damage resistance on the character. Apparantly with Dark Souls it's not the soul level total but more of the overall stats the character has.
Am I missing something here? I would assume the developers have some sort of purpose or advantage for the sorcerer.
edit:
After experimenting with characters I found that resistance attributes more points on physical defense than all the other stats
