To take an example from canon, Frodo renounced all violence after returning from Mount Doom. He even refused to help fight against Saruman and his lackeys back in the Shire, although he did help to organise the hobbits and inspire them on.There would be nothing wrong with, say, an NPC healer who stood back and didn't do any fighting, instead saving up his/her spells to patch up the party afterwards. But that isn't really the sort of role that appeals to most players. Are you sure that you want to have the other players killing all the monsters and hogging the limelight that way, while you stay in the background?Finally, what may happen is that a particularly ideological pacifist character wouldn't fit well in your gaming group, which will probably contain more pragmatic-minded characters. It's like trying to be an evil assassin in a good party, only the other way round. You should try to ensure that your PC can coexist with the other PCs in the group.</blockquote>
