[QUOTE="mellored, post: 6765478, member: 6801209"] Lore Bard is probably the best for what you seem to have in mind. Good non-damage control (sleep, hypnotic pattern), skills for talking your way past battles, cutting words can be flavored as a plea for peace, and access to all the key healing. Valor bards can grapple people, and use weapons to deal non-lethal damage, plus the other bard stuff. Life cleric is an obvious choice for pacifist. Take the healing spells, boost Con to 20, put sanctuary on yourself, and you can never do any offensive thing and still not be a waste of space. My not be enough battle field control though. Knowledge cleric can also work, with a little more control and skills, but still access to all the good healing spells. Trickery cleric is another possibility. Good at temporary distractions, letting your party slip by and free the damsel while the guards chase your shadow. Wizard (any but evocation or necromancy) also have plenty of non-damaging control effects and a bunch of utility. Though lack healing. [/QUOTE]
