While the subject of expanding the game's spell selection to round out the various energy damage types, I realized just how out of sync Meteor Swarm's damage is when compared to the DMG's spell creation guidelines and in fact ALL other spells. Ignoring it's huge range and area, it deals 20d6 fire and 20d6 bludgeoning damage save for half. The Spell Creation guidelines recommend just 14d6 damage for a 9th level spell that hit multiple targets. ( Damage guidelines for a single target spell was 15d10, roughly 24d6 ).
This has me thinking, are the DMG guidelines crippling low for 9th level spells, does Meteor swarm just get that much more for being Fire type or is errata possibly on the horizon for the only spell that deals anywhere NEAR 40d6 damage.
