Moving in a grapple question

[Malin Genie]

When you're moving an opponent in this fashion, you're assumed to be holding onto your foe tightly and shuffling along, or rolling along the floor with your opponent held against your body.

Maybe I've missed something? I've heard a few people describe grappling as "rolling around on the floor" - but never seen anyhing in the rules to suggest you become prone when grappling....

An additional question - if you are prone do you get -4 on grapple checks?

AFAIK, you don't. I might be wrong though.

I don't think that you are prone while grappling.

But, I still think that you should still be able to move an equivalent amount compared to your encumbrance rating as per the chart.

Yes, a little time consuming, but a little more realistic. It also adds many options to what you can do in combat when not wielding a weapon.
