* Justified in ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' with John. He wasn't expecting to go on an adventure, so all he has is a mundane [[DropTheHammer claw hammer]], of the kind for typical projects such as fence repair.

* Averted in ''Webcomic/TalesOfTheQuestor''. Although the organization forcing Quentyn, the titular Questor, to go on his virtually impossible mission give him literally nothing at all, his fellow villagers (who he is going on his mission FOR) equip him to their level best ability -- food, clothing, equipment, weapons, even an airship. Furthermore, a team of engineering students, sent by a school intrigued by Quentyn's expedition, come to make improvements to the airship and his other equipment.

And a ''knife.'' And ''tinder and flint''. And I suppose it's too much to ask that anybody's heard of ''crampons'' around here...

* In ''Creator/{{Toonami}}: Endgame'', TOM kills the pirate that destroyed the Absolution and kidnapped SARA, with a fork.
* ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'': Bam takes the test given by Headon with just a cleaver. Thankfully, Yuri [[DynamicEntry enters onto his face]] and she and Evan give him an A-grade pocket and the [[EmpathicWeapon Black March]], so this trope gets subverted. It's better that way since the cleaver broke very quickly.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater''
** Being based on the first ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' game, the webcomic justifies and parodies this by the king simply being a total {{jerkass}} and maniac who gives the party nothing ''to'' save his daughter and the only thing they get ''for'' saving her [[BrokenBridge is a bridge built]]... that he was making anyway and named after himself. Also, directly referenced in [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2001/08/01/episode-063-fighters-got-a-point-i-think/ this comic]], where it's apparently irrelevant as the weapons in the town [[SortingAlgorithmOfWeaponEffectiveness all suck for some reason]].
** Speaking of, after Sarda depowered them and later imploded from PhlebotinumOverload, the gang has to face up to taking Chaos out. They have to do this in twenty-four hours to avert Chaos' plot to destroy the world (which likely involves a TimeCrash); needless to say, they're having a bit of trouble getting their act together after faffing about and ruining civilization up to this point.

Furthermore, a team of engineering students, sent by a school intrigued by Quentyn's expedition, come to make improvements to the airship and his other equipment.
* ''Webcomic/GoblinHollow'' averts it for an in-comic RPG session, because [[http://www.rhjunior.com/goblin-hollow-0067/ the GM thinks it makes more sense that way]].
-->"The ''Darned Good Reason'' rule. As in 'nobody becomes an adventurer without a darned good reason to think they'll survive it'."\\
''That and I got tired of Fred needing to write up a new character twice a session.''
* In ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'', the ''Years of Yarncraft'' {{MMORPG}} uses this trope full-stop: Torg's warrior character starts out with [[http://sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/080731 just a stick for a weapon]], and no armor except for some ratty clothing ([[http://sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/080801 he doesn't even get underwear]]); Gennaro's wizard character starts out with [[http://sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/20080917 just a small piece of string]].

* In the prologue of ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'', the Nordic Council of History and Rediscovery only gave their expedition team enough of a budget to pay three people's salaries (out of a requested eight), believing their journey into the "silent world" (where ThePlague runs rampant) is a SuicideMission and hence are only willing to dedicate a limited quantity of ressources to it.
