@JeremyECrawford Is a grappled creature that is shoved prone still grappled,or is a new opposed roll needed to continue the grapple?

@oilpainting71When grappling a prone creature, is the grappler able to do so still standing with all the advantages that entails?
yes, grappling is a melee attack and IIRC those have advantage vs. prone targets

@oilpainting71 still grappled, unless shoved outside of grappler's reach

@oilpainting71Great thanks for the clarification. Thats a useful tactic, but it does make me wonder about the worth of the grappling pin? putting someone prone is essentially pinning them
