** Considering Haley's class and the above commentary on D&D rogues, this is justified.

Not to mention that his plan had been [[spoiler:to let her kill him so that she lost her Paladin powers, while he could always get resurrected later]].
*** In addition, when Belkar was confronted with the son of a Kobold he had killed, who was in full [[MyNameIsInigoMontoya revenge mode]], he was unable to kill him due to [[spoiler: his Mark of Justice]]. So does he accept his fate? [[KarmaHoudini Hell no]]! He simply hires mercenaries mid-fight to slay him.

* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', Haley has no problem fighting ''very'' dirty. For example, she [[spoiler: ambushed Crystal as she was in the shower, catching her without her weapons, armor, and protective jewelry, and killed her while she was stunned on the floor.]] It might be argued that this is dishonorable, but aside from that being the whole ''point'', Haley is ChaoticGood, not ChaoticStupid.
** Who could forget her approach to [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0327.html the test of the mind]]? Or, for that matter, [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0565.html the return trip]]?
** Considering Haley's class and the above commentary on D&D rogues, this is justified.
** Belkar also fits into this category, being quite willing to fight sneakily with a paladin and either taking potshots or using traps against her.
*** When he knocked said paladin unconscious, however, he actually waited until she woke up again instead of simply killing her. He even let her believe that she had merely become dizzy for a few seconds. He ''did'' steal and drink her healing potions while he had the chance, however.
*** For [[HeroicComedicSociopath Belkar]], this was less about being honorable and more about pissing her off. Obviously, he can't annoy her if she's out cold. Not to mention that his plan had been [[spoiler:to let her kill him so that she lost her Paladin powers, while he could always get resurrected later]].
*** In addition, when Belkar was confronted with the son of a Kobold he had killed, who was in full [[MyNameIsInigoMontoya revenge mode]], he was unable to kill him due to [[spoiler: his Mark of Justice]]. So does he accept his fate? [[KarmaHoudini Hell no]]! He simply hires mercenaries mid-fight to slay him.
---->'''Belkar''': "50 gp bonus to whoever makes him scream the loudest!"
*** Miko herself surpisingly pulled this off while appearing to be more of the HonorBeforeReason type. When facing a group of enemies, she rouses them all to wake up, allows them to pick up their weapons and even lets them eat first, allegedly so it'll be a fair fight. In truth, this was all a ploy to get them into one group so they could all be hit with the same attack.
** Belkar is an even better example in the prequel book ''On The Origin of [=PCs=]'':
-->'''Guard:''' You knifed seventeen people in a tavern brawl.
-->'''Belkar:''' Hey, its not my fault they brought fists to a knife fight.
-->'''Guard:''' It wasn't a knife fight until ''you'' started stabbing people!
** Vaarsuvius shows shades of this, particularly in his/her fight with [[spoiler: Zz'dtri.]]
-->'''[[spoiler: Zz'dtri]]:''' Cheater.
-->'''Vaarsuvius''': Oh heavens! I cannot believe I violated the detailed rules and regulations we agreed upon before starting this contest! We must consult the referee for an appropriate penalty regarding my heinous transgression!
** During the siege of Azure City, Redcloak averts this when he accepts the duel with the human cleric while he still has an overpowering army. Later however, he plays it strange when he is proposed to a fair fight [[spoiler: by Thanh]], who is held by an elemental summoned by Redcloak.
--> '''Redcloak''': Stupid risks are just that: stupid.\\
'''Redcloak''': Crush him.
*** It should be noted that Redcloak has always been pragmatic, with examples such as using Titanium Elementals instead of Earth because they are lighter yet stronger (if distasteful, not being a "classic" element); walking his hobgoblin army into certain death because he only needs them as a distraction (prior to gaining a change of heart regarding racism); creating decoys of Xykon to make the heroes guess which one's real, but then having the real one take an entirely different method of approach; etc. The reason Redcloak accepted the duel is specifically stated by himself as being because even though he could crush the cleric with his army, he does not want to waste any more hobgoblin lives when he can take him out himself. In the later case with [[spoiler:Thanh at the elemental's mercy]], Redcloak has already won the would-be duel anyways, and so orders him killed without further delay.
** Xykon is also this. For example, in his fight with [[DeathByOriginStory Fyron]], he couldn't best the wizard with magic. So he [[ISurrenderSuckers pretends to surrender]], then beats him to death [[ImprovisedWeapon with his own Wizzy Award]]
** During his gladiator match against Thog, Roy uses discarded crossbow bolts as improvised shivs, [[GrievousBottleyHarm smashes an empty potion bottle into Thog's face,]] throws sand in his eyes, and eventually wins by goading Thog into destroying the pillars holding up a section of the stands.
* Tagon, from ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary''. His first pugil-stick practice with Schlock involved [[spoiler:slicing Schlock, and his pugil stick, in half with a concealed RazorFloss wire hidden in his shoes. Don't worry, Schlock can survive that sort of thing.]]. His second, against the neophant Chisulo, involved lobbing the pugil stick into his opponent's {{eye|Scream}} from across the ring. ''[[FictionalDocument The Seventy Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries]]'' deals heavily in this trope; Maxim 31 even explicitly states "Only cheaters prosper".
-->'''Chisulo''': I'm pretty sure that's cheating.
-->'''Tagon''': I'm sorry, did you just say, "Thank you sir, may I have another?"
-->'''Chisulo''': Thank you sir! Point...um...taken.
* Bun-Bun from ''SluggyFreelance'' just plain ''loves'' this trope. Some examples:

* Mr. Raven from ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive''
-->'''Wizard:''' Have you no honor?
-->'''Raven:''' The lives of my students are more important.
* Karcharoth and Fenrir of ''CryHavoc'' do whatever they think they need to in order to survive and win.
* Rocky the rogue from ''Webcomic/OurLittleAdventure'' stands out in their adventuring group.
* King Eric in ''Webcomic/YetAnotherFantasyGamerComic'' is known as great and just man and all that, but once the gloves are off, they are... ''[[http://yafgc.net/?id=258 really off]]''.
* In ''ErrantStory'', Jon Amraphel is the only main character without any magical ability. How does he cope with fighting MagicKnight elven military, [[WarriorMonk monks]] with BulletTime SuperSpeed, and tiny fairy demigods? By a) being [[TheGunslinger very good with guns]], and b) cheating like hell. Being a semi-retired assassin, he does his best to avoid anything like a face-to-face fight.
* Pinton the Pig in ''Future Pig'' is definitely this. See him teach it to a student [[http://www.futurepig.com/fut065.html here.]]
* Dark Pegasus from ''{{DMFA}}'' not only [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_923.php disintegrates an enemy in mid-speech]], but then finishes his speech by mocking his enemies for allowing him to do that.
* Jack Noir in ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' is a big fan of teleporting behind people and stabbing them in the back. Though he is omnipotent, so perhaps he doesn't count.
** Winning his immortality by [[spoiler: killing the Black Queen with the bunny]] does, however.
** Vriska Serket and her ancestor, Marquise Mindfang have no qualms with using their psychic powers to use others to kill or maim their opponents.
** Dave is not above using his friend [[spoiler: who their foe cannot bring himself to harm]] as a human shield. AUTO-HARLEY!

** Agatha vs. her cousin:
--->[[spoiler:'''Zola Anya Talinka Venia Zeblinkya Malfeazium''']]: Bringing a ''knife'' to a ''gun fight'' doesn't seem very smart, now does it?
--->'''Agatha Heterodyne''': Well, I suppose it isn't that much worse than bringing a gun to a [[ClockworkCreature clank]] fight.
** [=DuPree=]. The best example is [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20040901 her fight]] with [[spoiler: Zulenna]].
