So all classes must purchase armor, and all classes except hunter need purchase weaponry?
[/quote]You can buy whatever you want.

You can go butt-naked if you want. 
I don't see why, though, as you'll freeze to death, get riddles with arrows etc.

As for the weapons...
I left the warrior without a starting weapon because you can make a fighter of different types: swordsman, brawler... 
The same goes for the rogue and the bard, who only gets an instrument and not a weapon, so that you can choose your own way of being those classes (as long as they fit the typical class characteristics, of course).

The hunter starts with a bow because hunter cliché. 

P.S.
I forgot to add shields, will do now.
