When you choose pacifism as a lifestyle, you give up all those skills that could be offensive and many that are defensive. Its the sacrifice you make. Perhaps you would not part water for your city's troops to march thru. Just as I would not drain
rituals from a location where they were killing a friend. But someone might, the temptation to affect battles in some manner or other is there and would be strong.
If your skills are important to you, dont keep pacifism. If you want to live the pacifist lifestyle, then accept your limitations and thank the Gods for the priviledge.
