My group had a creature grappled and prone. Then the bard cast Fear on it, which says that a creature can only take the Dash action, unless there is nowhere to move.
It technically did have places it could move, so it would would have used Dash. But since grappled and prone, the creature had a speed of 0 and could not Dash. But since Dash was the only action available to it, it could not escape the grapple.
I ruled that the creature could attempt an escape to try to get away, but I gave it disadvantage. Then it would dash,
Did I miss something in the rules that would have solved this issue differently? How would you have ruled?
Thanks,
Beaumont
