[QUOTE="Ilen, post: 231390, member: 4268"] Any Exceptions? I think a monk who uses Subdual Damage is cool, but will he switch to lethal in the case of say Demons, Devils or other such creatures? Also is he a vegetarian? Not really pertinent as far as rules go, but if you simply refuse to kill at all (One wonders how you deal with 'skeeters') and not, "I refuse to risk killing somebody who may actually be innocent or may be redeemed' then I can see you conceivable eating meat, and even using lethal force against non sentient creatures. Or something that is normally seen as irrevocably evil (Like the Demons and Devils mentioned above.) If you don't want to go the monk route I suppose you can be a caster who focuses on buffing or subduing/hindering spells. Though if it's not a curse or something and a strongly held philosophical belief held by the character one wonders what he is doing helping people kill. (Because a Bless, or a Web helps everyone else in the part frag.) If not a caster I suppose you could use a Sap, or talk to the DM into letting you use the Quarterstaff subdually at the cost of a feat or some such. (Maybe Exotic Weapon Prof). And as already stated you could be a Cleric with probably Domains: Healing and Protection. (Cleric of Ilmater or some such.) [/QUOTE]
