Krunchy, this is IWD2. IIRC, wizzies and sorcs are proficient in simple weapons, and that includes crossbows. And if you happen to choose to have an elven wizzy or sorc, you get a Bow prof free.

Unless I have an elven wizzy/sorc, I prefer to arm my spellcaster with a xbow, since they have good to hit bonuses, even unenchanted. I don't worry about having a great rate of fire with my wizzy. I'm happy with getting one good hit. And a hit with a xbow is also worth a little more more than any arrow (i.e. 1d8 vs 1d6).
