@JeremyECrawford One of the actions a Familiar can take is the help action. Can a familiar help with Ability Checks and, if so, which ones?

A familiar can take the Help action as written, which includes helping ability checks. See “Working Together” (PH, 175) for more. #DnD https://t.co/FodkXHfkj8

So my bat with an Intelligence of 2 can help me with my History and Arcana checks?
A creature can provide help only if the task is one that the creature could attempt alone (see “Working Together,” PH, 175). #DnD https://t.co/XV7D8J4kwF
