Conjure Woodland Beings

Level 4 Conjuration Casting Time: Action Range: 60 feet Components: V, S, M (one holly berry per creature summoned) Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

You summon fey creatures that appear in unoccupied spaces that you can see within range. Choose one of the following options for what appears:

• One fey creature of challenge rating 2 or lower
• Two fey creatures of challenge rating 1 or lower
• Four fey creatures of challenge rating 1/2 or lower
• Eight fey creatures of challenge rating 1/4 or lower

A summoned creature disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.

The summoned creatures are friendly to you and your companions. Roll initiative for the summoned creatures as a group, which have their own turns. They obey any verbal commands that you issue to them (no action required by you). If you don't issue any commands to them, they defend themselves from hostile creatures, but otherwise take no actions.

The DM has the creatures' statistics.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using certain higher-level spell slots, you choose one of the summoning options above, and more creatures appear: twice as many with a 6th-level slot and three times as many with an 8th-level slot. Classes: Druid, Ranger

The only mention of the DM is that they have the creatures' statistics. It never says that they choose, or that the player doesn't choose. It doesn't specifically say that the player does choose, but that's true of lots of things. For example, the rules say that you decide whether to move first or take an action first, but not that you decide whether or not to move or take an action, or where to move or what action to take. Nobody would say that that means it's RAW that the GM decides all those things.
