The pacifist conduct involves not gaining experience from a monster. This means that the usual practice of killing monsters is out of the question; players must instead attack without killing, use a pet to do the dirty work, or simply run away.
Pacifist methods
A pacifist player nearly always uses a passive way of killing monsters, such as with a pet, or with a ring of conflict for larger groups. Scrolls and wands of teleportation are used much more often, to move a high-level monster somewhere else instead of killing it.
Many players use a wish for a "blessed figurine of an Archon", giving them a strong enough pet to attack the Wizard of Yendor, as well as being a great help throughout the rest of the game.
Gaining experience
Experience points can still be gained in a manner that doesn't involve killing things:
- Talking with the Oracle
- Eating tripe
- Quaffing from sinks
- Untrapping squeaky boards
For the full list, see Experience.
Pacifist ascensions
Pacifist Healers and Wizards are common, but a few other classes have been ascended as pacifists:
- A pacifist Archeologist by Marvin
- A pacifist Rogue by Marvin
- A pacifist Monk (and 8 other conducts too) by Brad Sagarin
