[QUOTE="clearstream, post: 9481389, member: 71699"] Those pics remind me of half-carrying-half-dragging a lengthy awkward object like a branch and seeing it brush the ground to one side of me. The choice of picture seems designed to prompt an intuition that i) I can picture dragging said object a few feet off to the side so that it brushes the ground in what would amount to a separate square, and if so that ii) I can picture applying the same to a living creature. Thus - hopefully - establishing a norm for "drag". For me, it's not doing that job: a stronger norm is that you "drag" things through the space you move through.

I don't recall any text saying that the grappler chooses which square the foe is dragged into as they "drag" them. [/QUOTE]
