Does anyone know of there are any rules regarding grappling while mounted? RAW, your movement speed is halved while grappling someone, but I don't know if that applies to your mount or not.
I ask this because I'm playing a Paladin of Vengeance who has both Haste and a Pegasus mount (obtained Via a scroll of Find Greater Steed). A pegasus has a flying speed of 90 feet, so after being buffed with Haste, its fly speed increases to 180, and it can take the dash action twice per turn, giving a total fly speed of 540. So could I, in one round:
-Use my attack action to grapple someone.
-Have my pegasus fly 170 feet straight up into the air
-Drop the creature I'm grappling, they fall for 17d6 bludgeoning damage (no save)
-Have my pegasus follow them to the ground
-Grapple them again using my second attack
-Fly 200 feet straight up
-Drop my target again for another 20d6 bludgeoning damage.
In total, that's 37d6 or about 130 damage.
