moving while prone

[holywhitetrash]

is it actually written somewhere that you can only crawl while prone (not normal move or shift) or is that only implied?

and while i am here what all effects does the prone condition apply?
thanks for any help

Add the following text to the prone condition: “You can’t move from your space, although you can teleport,
crawl, or be forced to move by a pull, a push, or a slide”

Crawl is your only movement option baring teleports and forced movement. So getting up is generally a good idea.

and while i am here what all effects does the prone condition apply?

PRONE

• You grant combat advantage to enemies making melee attacks against you.
• You get a +2 bonus to all defenses against ranged attacks from nonadjacent enemies.
• You’re lying on the ground. (If you’re flying, you safely descend a distance equal to your fly speed. If you don’t reach the ground, you fall.)
• You take a –2 penalty to attack rolls.
• You can drop prone as a minor action.

The PHB text would have been easy to look up. You're quite a lazy one.

I don't have my book with me, but that should all be covered in the section on conditions in the Combat chapter of the PHB.

In all fairness, not all gamers HAVE a PH.

Post-errata prone:
• You grant combat advantage to enemies making melee attacks against you.
• You can’t move from your space, although you can teleport, crawl, or be forced to move by a pull, a push, or a slide.
• You get a +2 bonus to all defenses against ranged attacks from nonadjacent enemies.
• You are lying down. However, if you are climbing or flying, you fall.
• You take a -2 penalty to attack rolls.

Crawl - one square, or two? And, provokes opportunity attacks, right?

Crawl is half your speed, I believe you round up, so for most folks it's 3, but sometimes it'll be 4, or even more.


And yes, it provokes.

No, you always round down. Always.

Crawl is either 3 or 2 barring extraordinary movement rate.
