What's the point of giving heavy armor proficiency if there's no level 0 heavy armor? Will some be added in the book this comes in? Otherwise the only way to use heavy armor is with an armor skirt. Is this just to ensure Slayers don't have access to Bulwark since they have terrible reflex saves? If that's the case level 1 armor keeps bulwark off the table while giving some freedom of armor choices.

They can transfer to a different set of armor as soon as they can afford it. So yeah, no heavy armor out the gate, just like other classes can't afford it either. Pretty sure a GM would allow getting a medium armor, then buy the skirt.
If splint mail was allowed you could get that with typical starting funds and a weapon.

It's to prevent you from starting with free later-level gear that other classes also don't start with. Like them, you switch when you get it.

Then buy it and swap. That's fine.
