With only 5 hit points, it seems that attacking and damaging a net is much easier than escaping from it or bursting it. Is there something I have overlooked? Or is it just so easy?
High CR monsters such as Bebilith demon or Monstrous Spiders have attacks similar to net attack. And while escaping/bursting DC are difficult enough, HPs of those nets are not that much, too. For example Bebilith (CR 10) web is 14 hit points and hardness 0, Colossal Monstrous Spider (CR 11) web has 18 hit points. I guess PCs of appropriate level will just slash a web with a single attack.
An entangled creature can escape with a DC 20 Escape Artist check (a full-round action). The net has 5 hit points and can be burst with a DC 25 Strength check (also a full-round action).
