They didn't. They took away the ridiculous "Clerics can't use bladed weapons" and arbitrary rules like that specific to the game. Some clerics' first instincts would be to pick up a bladed weapon. Corellon Larethian's favored weapon is the longsword, and his clerics would surely be trained in its use... not to mention any other elf raised by elves. And what about daggers? Evil clerics use daggers all the time. It was just a way to balance the classes. And there is a thread on one of the BG2 forums which states, "WHY can't wizards use clubs?" In NWN it makes more sense.
And a wizard is supposed to be smart. Don't you think they could figure out a crossbow?
