Especially when the condition is only "reduce speed to zero".How much control do you expect to actually have in a given 6-second window?
It's not "choke to unconsciousness", "break limbs" etc.

1/4 speed and that if I feel very generous.Like they might only be able to move themself and their target at half speed?
Yep. I'm all for advanced grapples where you can also go prone to get some further advantages and options, though.Especially when the condition is only "reduce speed to zero".

in one round it might be stretching it, but in two rounds is perfectly doable.It's not "choke to unconsciousness",
Yeah. But that's not what 5e grappling sets out to model.in one round it might be stretching it, but in two rounds is perfectly doable.
But you need a GOOD blood choke and both arms holding the target. And if the target is prone, your are prone with it.
I'd be on board for these too. Maybe a chance to inflict stunned/paralyzed/etc. Though tbh, this is likely playing pretty far outside 5e's strengths, since most conditions would end up providing benefits that are redundant with "prone"Yep.

You wouldn't need to "swing" a battle-axe to kill someone with it in that position. Also: Notice how she's helping him hold her up by holding onto his shoulders? Let go and shove your battle axe "up his skirt".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.
I assure you, it is entirely possible to throw or force someone onto the ground and hold them there with an arm or wrist lock while you are still standing or crouching next to them.I would like to see that without 6ft tentacles from the grappler.
