This power cannot summon entities tied to a specific area or object such as dryads or shargugh. The number and power of the sylvan folk is limited by the caprine's Hit Dice as follows:Sylvan Summoning Level Table<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>Caprine Hit Dice</td><td>Maximum Summoning*</td></tr><tr><td>1–2</td><td>summon sylvan folk I</td></tr><tr><td>3–4</td><td>summon sylvan folk II</td></tr><tr><td>5–6</td><td>summon sylvan folk III</td></tr><tr><td>7–8</td><td>summon sylvan folk IV</td></tr><tr><td>9–10</td><td>summon sylvan folk V</td></tr><tr><td>11–12</td><td>summon sylvan folk VI</td></tr><tr><td>13–14</td><td>summon sylvan folk VII</td></tr><tr><td>15–16</td><td>summon sylvan folk VIII</td></tr><tr><td>17 or higher</td><td>summon sylvan folk IX</td></tr></table>*Caprines can also summon sylvan aid of any level lower than this maximum down to summon sylvan folk I.A caprine can summon a uniform group of the same creature or a mixed group of two different creatures.When summoning a uniform group, a caprine with summon sylvan folk IX can summon any selection from the following table:Sylvan Summons Table for Uniform Group1 rank IX1d3 rank VIII1d4+1 rank VII2d4+2 rank VI4d6 rank V6d6 rank IV8d6 rank III10d6 rank II12d6 rank IWhen summoning a mixed group, a caprine with summon sylvan folk IX can summon one selection from Column A plus one selection from Column B of the following table:Sylvan Summons Table for Mixed Group<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>Column A</td><td>Column B</td></tr><tr><td>1 rank VIII 1d4+1 rank VI 2d6 rank V 3d6 rank IV 4d6 rank III 5d6 rank II 6d6 rank I</td><td>1d3 rank VII 1d4+1 rank VI 2d6 rank V 3d6 rank IV 4d6 rank III 5d6 rank II 6d6 rank I</td></tr></table>A caprine using sylvan summoning at levels lower than IX adjusts the rank of the sylvan creatures downwards by however many levels their summoning is below IX.  For example, a summon sylvan folk VI uniform summons produces the same number of rank III creatures as a summon sylvan folk IX produces rank VI creatures, namely 2d4+2.The following table groups representative sylvan creatures by their summoning rank, additional creatures can be added at the DM's discretion:</blockquote>
