[QUOTE="Jfdlsjfd, post: 9169135, member: 42856"] While an artificer's Flash of Genius ability is just "as a reaction, add you INT bonus to a failed ability check or saving throw" mechanically, and some player at my table are playing it like that, I am "roleplaying it" as trying to come up with a flourished description of a one-shot invention to help. In our latest session, we tracked someone and the idea to use Scent came up. Going over our option, we had no possible way to get a dog but could summon a weasel, with Keen Hearing and Smell. Our tracking weasel was then helped with flash of genius, with which I declared to have repurposed a gramophone into a smell-assisting apparatus. Meet the Cannith Tracking Weasel!
