who would win when put into a fight one on one a NCR Veteran Ranger or a Brotherhood of steel Palidan. Each possess respective skills of 100 and using their iconic gear. the rangers being his anti material rifle and ranger sequoia and the paladin with t-51b armor and a tribe am leaser rifle and laser pistol.

well that depends on a variety of factors, guns, ammo types, different skills, but strictly speaking, if a paladin with a standard laser rifle, came up against an NCR Veteran with a brush gun, with 100 skill to their respective weapons, i dare say the paladins power armor (t-51b) would give it a significant advantage, plus a laser rifle's -2 DT effect. other than that they're pretty evenly matched Brotherhood-overlord-6 (talk) 00:14, October 26, 2012 (UTC)

If you want to compare them from an in-universe perspective, limit applying statistics. They're an abstraction. On topic, again, depends on the engagement, but I wager the Ranger has the advantage. Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 06:24, October 26, 2012 (UTC)

I think that because of the technological advantage that the Palidan possesses, the Brotherhood would win. The only reason the NCR won the war against the BOS is because of sheer numbers. Granted, they weren't all rangers, but a ranger with a hunting revolver or a brush gun wouldn't do much against a palidan with T-51b armor and a gauss rifle.--PUKEBOT2000 (talk) 06:22, November 21, 2012 (UTC)PUKEBOT2000

If Power armor dose not offer a significant advantage I got to ask why folks would bother with it.

  • Personally I'm all about stealth in a fight and fashion in public. So clunky, clanging armor has never been my thing. Even as as BOS knight I never dressed the part.

Also I favor a cold hard round over any energy weapon. It just feels more real to me. If you want statistical comparisons I will leave that for others. I just say what I like.

Still I would guess in a standing fight with equal skills face to face in like a duel.. Then I would bet on the power armor.

  • If armor is not better protection then why wear it?
