When you or another creature you can see within 30 feet of you makes an ability check or a saving throw, you can use your reaction to add your Intelligence modifier to the roll. +> +> You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. + +Notably, this ability doesn't specify that the modifier must be positive, or that the creature must be willing. If you get another spellcaster to cast **feeblemind** on your artificer, reducing their intelligence to 1 and their intelligence modifier to -5. This allows the artificer to subtract 5 from an ability check or saving throw of anyone they can see that's within 30 feet, even an enemy. + +As with flash of genius, sometimes you have to come up with solutions under pressure. Sometimes those solutions are terrible, but hilarious, like the above strategy. Hence, flash of stupid. \ No newline at end of file
