Ardent Pacifist[edit]
The Ardent Pacifist is so devoted to the idea of peace that she feels compelled to force others to behave in an orderly, peaceful manner. There is to be no fighting around an Ardent Pacifist, and her skills and abilities are designed to prevent, mitigate, or reverse any harm that foolishly aggressive individuals might cause.
Ardent Pacifist's are combat-stoppers. They approach problems from a perspective of negotiation or persuasion. They apply their pacifistic powers to friend and foe alike, and will not willingly support anybody who plans violence. They are not your typical PC - in general, they only will fit in with a party of other Ardent Pacifist's, or characters that have chosen to use their unique abilities in non-violent ways.
Making an Ardent Pacifist[edit]
Ardent Pacifists are very good at avoiding and preventing combat. This can annoy party members who like to get their swords wet, since the Ardent Pacifist does not make exceptions for friends - everyone, and she means EVERYONE, is going to BEHAVE, understand?
Abilities: The Ardent Pacifist radiates an Aura of Peace which reduces the likelihood and severity of combat. She also has a selection of spells relating to healing or preventing injury which she can cast spontaneously.
Races: Ardent Pacifists can be of any race that at least entertains the idea that warfare is a Bad Idea.
Alignment: Good.
Starting Gold: 1d6 x 10 gp.
Starting Age: As wizard

All of the following are class features of the Ardent Pacifist.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Ardent Pacifists are not proficient with any weapons or armor.
Spells: Ardent Pacifists cast spells spontaneously with spells per day equivalent to the Sorcerer, but unlike the Sorcerer they know all spells on their spell list. Spells which can be used for non-pacifistic purposes (such as Limited Wish) must be used for peaceful reasons by the Ardent Pacifist or the spell will fail and she may risk losing her Ardent Pacifist abilities. NOTE: Unlike other spellcasting classes, the Ardent Pacifist does NOT gain bonus spells per day!

Chivalry (Su): Beginning at 17th level any creature within the Ardent Pacifist's Aura of Peace must succeed on a Will saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 Ardent Pacifist's CL + Ardent Pacifist's Wisdom bonus) or refuse to deal lethal damage - any damage dealt that round must be nonlethal.
Untouchable (Su): At 19th level the Ardent Pacifist is affected by a permanent Sanctuary effect as per the spell at a CL equal to the Ardent Pacifist's class level. The Ardent Pacifist cannot lower this effect, and if it is dispelled it will resume operation at the beginning of the next round.
Ex-Ardent Pacifists[edit]
An Ardent Pacifist who engages in combat or intentionally supports a violent action loses all of her supernatural abilities and spells (but keeps her attribute increases) until she atones for her transgression. The DM must be very strict in monitoring the Ardent Pacifist's behavior. Loopholes should not be tolerated.
