I played a elf wizard in a 2nd level 3.0 game last night..and guess what? I didn't cast a single spell. We went through several rooms of goblins. I threw caltrops, daggers and attacked with my rapier.. I searched for stuff, explored, gathered up javelins, poked dead goblins eyes out and avoided traps...I had fun!!!! I've saved all my spells for the ambush we just set up for a big bunch of goblins and hobgoblins. 15 minute adventuring days are for the latter-rinse-repeat crowd. If that is the adventures's typical strategy, you'd think a Genius BBEG would just set up an ambush of his own on the way out of the dungeon. Dimensional Anchor anyone?
