My question is about the intelligence contest between an intellect devourer and PC. When it uses devour intellect and the PC ends up have 0 INT, is the INT score 0 for the Body thief intelligence contest next round or do you use the PC's base intelligence for the contest? This is my first time encountering this monster as a DM in a premade book and I appreciate any insight that experienced players and DMs can provide.

Under the circumstances described, the target would make its intelligence roll at 0 intelligence (so -5 to the roll).
Thank you! This was really confusing for me.
