I have been playing DND for a few decades. A while back I was making a character for a campaign. The class in question is a non-combatant class. It uses cries and vocal commands to allow others to act. They get huge disadvantages for wearing armor and using weapons. If anyone knows the name of the class in question please message me. Thanks for your assistance in this matter everyone.
There was pacifist priest in ad&d, gave the following:
Special Benefits: This priest is a very compelling personality. He receives a +2 to his Charisma score (his Charisma cannot exceed 18 from this bonus), and, in addition to any reaction bonus that his heightened Charisma gives him, he receives a +2 reaction from anyone who is not utterly opposed to his philosophy. (Beings opposed to his philosophy include priests and devoted adherents of the gods, forces and philosophies mentioned above under "Barred," and certain warlike nonhuman races like orcs, ogres and trolls.)
Special Hindrances: This priest may never wear armor, and may never use weapons, spells or any other tactics to harm a human, demihuman, nonhuman, or monster. If he ever violates this decree, his god will not punish him (because the pacifist's oath is one he took for himself, not for his god), but his own guilt will deprive him of all magic spells for the span of one month. (If the DM wishes, if the priest is a follower of the god of Peace, the god can instead punish him as a "Betrayal of Goals" from the Role-Playingchapter.) Naturally, if he later abandons the kit, he can resume the wearing of armor and use of weapons according to his priest-class
There is also a Pacifist Druid as well with a few more bits.

It doesn't sound like anything from 5e.
Yeah, they said it was from a while back, I don't think they were suggesting it was a 5e class

Not 5e you are correct
