[QUOTE="Empirate, post: 5966099, member: 78958"] In combat, you make tactical decisions. Even a pure fighter type does. Movement, terrain, special abilities, feats, spell effects and other stuff comes into play. In a skill challenge, you basically just roll your best applicable skill against a fixed DC until the DM says "stop". Hardly even remotely similar, much less the same. Contact, sure. But how? The net probably falls on the Spectre from above. The 3D form of the Spectre has no mass, unlike the net, and no Str to push against the net, so it is irreistibly forced into the ground, which offers no resistance to incorporeal type. It can then slip through the ground to exit it outside the area covered by the net on its next turn, and has total cover until then. Or you throw the net horizontally, so it hits the Spectre in the face. The massless, frictionless, inertia-less Spectre proceeds to be knocked back the instant contact is made, before the net can even deform to enclose it. Similar result. [/QUOTE]
