15d10 damage on a successful save is still an average of 82.5 damage, or enough to kill a peasant 20.5 times over. I presume the Dex save is being able to find a relatively safe crevasse or something—the key word being "relative", since they'll still take enough damage to kill a rhino twice.

Using commoners to see how damaging a spell is is like using a cat to test out an anti-vehicle mine designed to explode on any contact and weight.
