* Defenseless - should never be combined with pacifism.
* Overpowered - forces some level of pacifism and should not generally occur together with this tag.
* Alternate solutions - pacifism may manifest itself as one of those alternatives.
Mainly of interest in games where pacifism is not the norm, essentially this omits most adventure games, puzzles, sport games, and so forth.

Generally avoiding conflicts altogether (rarely possible), running away from them (again, rarely possible, the conflicts are always where you need to go), stunning those who attack you instead of killing (in case you have a choice between the two), and so forth.
