Pacifist Domain

Most clerics are there to bring the will of their god to the people. This often means protecting the innocent from those who would harm them. This often ends in using force to destroy or at least harm others. There are some clerics however, that think that using violence to stop violence is somewhat of a paradox. These clerics find it unnecessary to harm others. They hope that one day all creatures can live peacefully together and that a personal vow of pacifism is the first step towards that future. There a some who see them as misguided but that won't stop them from spreading the pacifists ways. Though their personal code doesn’t allow harming any living soul, they are aware that others do not yet share their ideals. As such, they can still excuse violence as a last resort or as self-defence and will even aid other in battle. This doesn’t mean that they will condone overly violent actions.

Channel Divinity: Momentary Pacifism

Starting at 3rd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to convince a creature to stop a violent action. When a creature within 60ft of you, attacks, cast a harmful spell or takes another form of action that is harmful to any LIVING creature, you can use your reaction to force them to make an Wisdom saving throw, DC (8 + wisdom modifier + Proficiency). On a fail they stop whatever they were doing, losing the action. On a successful save, they have disadvantage against cleric that used this reaction.

Conflicting Thoughts

Starting at 6th level, you can use your bonus action to imbue a creature within 60ft of you with pacifistic thought for a moment. It must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or have disadvantage on its next attack.
