We got into some trouble fighting assassin vines - their entangle at will is a pain. Have you any good tips to get through entangle if you only have access to 1st to 3rd level spells?

PHB contains nice low-level teleport spells. Dimension Hop and Dimension Step.

I'm pretty sure he means PHB II.

As a 2nd level spell, entangle is pretty good. Especially given the area it covers.
You might take a look at levitate or fly as alternatives. Flying is definitely something every party will want fairly early on, so it's a good candidate spell for an arcane caster regardless. Levitate a little less so. The reason I mention them is because they get you above the entangled area so you're no longer taking a bunch of penalties whereas otherwise you'd have to move through the area.
If you can take the damage, fireball the area. Or use lower level spells like burning hands. (The effect of these spells on entangle isn't clearly stated, but it's pretty easy to make an argument that fire should have some effect. Acid is another possibility. I guess these two depend on your GM.)

Thanks folks! I'd forgotten PHB2 and I was hoping I'd missed something obvious in the normal PHB. Being immobilized is a real pain!
