So my enemy is successfully Grabbed - now what?

We've had a situation come up where a PC wanted to restrain another (confused) PC and pull him out of a cloud of spores.

Since we couldn't find a Reposition or Drag maneuver, we started with a Grapple and then tried to find any rules telling us how you can proceed from after the grapple is initiated.

But from what we can tell, the only actions that can be taken in a grapple are Acrobatics (Escape), Athletics (Break Grapple), and Athletics (Grapple) to maintain.

Are we missing anything?

The possibility to forcefully move opponents around on the battlefield has been so important so many times in our 1E campaigns, it would be shame if all that was left was Shove (which only works in the direction away from you).


If the PC is a Fighter, he could stab his friend and then move him 10 feet any direction he wants so long as he remains adjacent to the Fighter.

Other than that feat and a few similar class feats... Yeah, doesn't seem to be any way to move people around. A Reposition maneuver is definitely warranted.

It's not just the Reposition maneuver that is missing, there is also no Drag maneuver and, above all, there are no options for a grappler other than maintaining the grapple.

I appreciate the attempt to get rid of the 2 pages of flow charts for grappling in 1E, but having some options would be nice.
