![]() They could have just said "The DM picks the creatures summoned" or some other similarly transparent text, but they didn't. ![]() I actually believe the original intent of that line was that the DM would provide the stat block, including hit points (rolled, averaged, or otherwise), but a ruling by SageAdvice retconned that the intent of the line was that the DM picks the creatures summoned.

And while I don't have experience with every possible class and multiclass combination in the game, I came to think of this spell as one of the most powerful capabilities a character could have access to - spell or otherwise.
