[RPG] Does moving a grappled opponent while mounted reduce your mount’s speed

dnd-5egrapplemount

When you move a grappled opponent, your speed is halved.
However, while mounted, your mount is moving you.
Is your mount's speed halved when you move a grappled opponent ?

Best Answer

It would reduce only the grappling character's speed, as the other answers explain it, but when taking it strictly RAW you can only use the grappling creatures movement to move the grappled creature: (emphasis mine)

Moving a Grappled Creature. When you move, you can drag or carry the grappled creature with you, but your speed is halved, unless the creature is two or more sizes smaller than you.

Basically, your steeds movement would end the grappled condition, because it would remove the grappled creature out of the grapplers reach.

The condition also ends if an effect removes the grappled creature from the reach of the grappler or grappling effect, such as when a creature is hurled away by the thunderwave spell.
