Pathfinder 1E Classes with heavy armor proficiency

[DonT]

Is there a complete list of the classes that get heavy armor proficiency?
Thanks!

Off the top of my head, the classes that Start with Heavy Armor proficiency:
Cavalier
Fighter
Paladin
Samurai
Warpriest
Battle Scion (Kobold Press)



NPC Classes:
Aristocrat
Warrior



Technically, ANY class can get it by spending a feat to get Heavy Armor Proficiency.

Thanks!
Are there any classes that automatically become proficient in heavy armor at higher levels?

Magus is the only one that I can think of that has a class ability/option that works towards it. Magus starts with Light Armor and progresses to Medium and ultimately Heavy, if that class option is selected. (Again, going from memory.)

In pathfinder heavy armor is actually a pretty good thing. You get most of the penalties already in medium armor, and you get better AC. The drawback is mainly that you mithral heavy armor won't avoid the movement penalty. But some levels of fighter can!
