D&D (2024) The Great Nerf to High Level Martials: The New Grapple Rules

[Horwath]

It takes a full action to escape a grapple. Grapple + prone is nearly a stun.

hehe,
I would say not.

you can still attack your grappler, probably it should be prone with you so no disadvantage to attack.
You can cast all spells, you can drink potions, you just cannot move and others have advantage to melee attacks on you.

This is not required in the current paradigm. A grappler can grapple a prone target without become prone themselves.

I would like to see that without 6ft tentacles from the grappler.

It's just stepping on someone.

Grappled and proned someone while still standing.

Grappled and proned someone while still standing.

That's cute, but it's not an effective way to stop someone from killing you.

immobilized? Probably.
Prone? No.

if she has a dagger it's probably helping her to kill him.

 

[Horwath]

It's just stepping on someone.

unless you are 3 size different, stepping one someone, outside damage of the stomp, does not give control of them.

You think she can easily swing a battleaxe from that position?

She certainly has 0 move speed and can't reach your wizard until she escapes.

Meanwhile, you can drag her to a cliff and drop her.
