The New California Republic (5e Fallout Supplement)

NCR

While the following were designed to reflect the troops of the NCR, similar units exist across the wasteland including the Minuteme in the Commonwealth and Reilly’s Rangers in the Capital Wasteland.

Riot Trooper

Medium humanoid (any race), lawful neutral Armor Class 10 Explosive; 11 Energy, Melee; 12 Ballistic (NCR Armor) Hit Points 16 (3d8 + 3) Speed 30 ft.

On a hit, the target must succeed a DC 11 Constitution saving throw, falling unconcious until the beginning of their next turn.

Used to non-lethally quell riots, act as military police, create an NCR presence in civilian areas, or to give rank to personnel a commanding officer would rather not get injured, such as the son of a senator, the NCR riot forces fight drunken gamblers and boredom more than anything else.

Medium humanoid (any races), any alignment Armor Class 11 Energy, Explosive; 12 Melee; 12 Ballistic (NCR Armor, Combat Armor Shoulders) Hit Points 22 (4d8 + 4) Speed 30 ft.

The primary force of the NCR, troopers are deployed to numerous outposts in and outside NCR territory. While wholly unexceptional and mediocrely equipped, what a group of motivated troopers can do on the battlefield can not be understated. NCR troopers, Fallout New Vegas

Leadership (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). For 1 minute, the ranger can utter a special command or warning whenever a nonhostile creature that it can see within 30 feet of it makes an attack roll or a saving throw. The creature can add a d4 to its roll provided it can hear and understand the ranger. A creature can benefit from only one Leadership die at a time. This effect ends if the ranger is incapacitated.

Members of the NCR’s elite ranger force, rangers are handpicked from the most accurate and stealthy of the NCR infantry. They are well known for their ability to infiltrate enemy territory and successfully complete missions with great efficiency. Their force of will and general determination has made them famous across the NCR as expert troops. An NCR Ranger defending Hoover Dam, Fallout New Vegas

Easily the deadliest, best outfitted soldiers in the NCR military, the strength of a veteran ranger can not be overstated. They are often deployed in teams of one to three soldiers to resolve issues one to three platoons could not solve. In the two cases that the NCR has called upon the entire ranger force, they became almost completely unstoppable. While most soldiers haven’t even met one, their legend of “chewing nails and spitting napalm” echoes throughout every NCR base. A veteran ranger, Fallout New Vegas
