I saw someone mentions this recently and honestly I had never thought about it.
The Grapple rules state that once you grapple a creature, on your turn you can move half your speed and move that creature with you. However, before we perform that movement, do we need to consider carrying capacity?
I can see three schools of thought:
1) Most conservative: This kind of movement is basically like picking the creature up and moving them. As such, you must be able to pick up the creature in order to move it.
2) Middle: This kind of movement is similar to a drag, and so must be able to drag the creature in order to move it.
3) Most liberal: This kind of movement is more like you are "using the creature's motion against it", so there is really no exertion needed outside of the half movement. Carrying capacity doesn't factor in at all.
I have put in a poll, let me know how you see it?
