 * This is part of the guide to levelling characters as a Pacifist.

Rogue Pacfists have many useful benefits for players wanting to level a character as a pacifist.

Abilities
Rogues have many abilities that can be useful to pacfists. These include avoidance, crowd control, safely running away and, unique to rogues, non-violent looting (via Pick Lock).


 * Blind
 * Detect Traps
 * Disarm Trap
 * Distract
 * Pick Lock: Pacifists won’t be getting much in the way of locked items, but this can still be useful for looting locked chests, or getting through locked doors.
 * Pick Pocket: This alone makes rogues a very appealing class for pacifists. A way to get loot without having to kill anything. Although, the immorality of stealing may make this undesirable given the moral basis of most pacifism.
 * Safe Fall
 * Sap: Incapacitate a mob. Although they will aggro, this may give enough time to get out of range when trying to pass them.
 * Smoke Bomb
 * Sprint: Run away!
 * Stealth
 * Vanish
