@JeremyECrawford Can a creature with multiple speeds choose which one to use to stand up from prone? e.g. Can a creature with 0 walking speed, or higher walking speed than flying speed, choose to stand using their flying speed?

The rule on standing up from prone fails to account for you having multiple speeds. Here's the intent: if you have multiple speeds and stand up, expend an amount of movement equal to half your highest speed. #DnD https://t.co/bIsUZRdk0W

That ruling still leaves room for gaming the system if you have a speed that is five to ten feet higher than another somehow. Spend half your walking movement (35 ft) and still have 30 ft of flight movement. I would just halve all speeds for getting up from prone. That scenario is covered by the rule on using multiple speeds.

Seems to me it should work like this: You have a walking speed of 30 and a flying speed of 60. You stand up using half your speed. You now have walking movement of 15 left and flying movement of 30 left. Simple.
