Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mishihari Lord" data-source="post: 6873872" data-attributes="member: 128">I've played a pacifist character of sorts, and DM'ed for a player who had a pacifist PC.My PC was trained from birth to be an assassin, and the first time he killed a person (prior to the campaign start) it felt so horrible he swore he'd never do it again, kill a thinking being, that is, he had no issue with killing animals, undead, constructs, etc.  He would still fight, but would use knock-out tactics (the DM generously let me exchange some assassin abilities for some of these)  He was very powerful in combat.  There was some in-party contention though, when he found out that one of the other PCs was trailing along behind him coup-de-grace'ing all the people he was trying to spare.The guy I DM'ed for had a cleric of the goddess of healing.  I'd made all of the clerics in my 2E campaign specialist clerics with custom abilities, so while the class was forbidden from attacking with weapons or spells, they also had very strong healing ability and a variety of abilities to make up for it, the strongest of which was a permanent sanctuary-like effect.  This PC's contributions to the game were very valuable and respected by the other players.  It also helped that the campaign was roughly equal parts combat, social, and exploration, so the PC had no hindrances for much of the play time.  The most memorable moment was when the cleric stepped between a sorely wounded PC and an enemy, counting on his sanctuary to protect him and trying to persuade the enemy of the virtue of non-violence.  Unfortunately for him, I rolled a 19 for the enemy's save and the cleric ended up pinned to the wall like a bug in a case, but it was still a noble attempt.</blockquote>
