If I have a power that can shift an ally a number of squares, does this work for a prone ally?
i.e. I can shift him out of range of an adjacent enemy.

It states that you move half your regular speed while prone/crawling.

Note that it's "up to half your speed," not "at half speed," so it's not that each square costs two squares of movement, it's just that you can only move, say, 3 squares if your speed is 6.
Which is a semantic that makes no difference while crawling except for while slowed. So... who knows what they want here. The shift at half movement house rule is pretty good, though. Better than a rule that you can shift freely while prone -or- a rule that you can't shift at all, at least.
Just so it's clear, by the RAW you can _run_ while prone. Clearly, the rules for prone need another line or two.
Does the power say "Slide an ally" or "One ally may shift"?
If he may shift, then he's limited by the rules on prone movement.
If you can slide him, then the fact that he's prone is irrelevant.
