 COIN PURSE OF AWAKENING
Wondrous item, rare, minor
You may place a coin in this velvet purse, upon which
the purse clasps shut. After 24 hours, the coin becomes
an awakened coin with the statistics listed below. It
chews its way out of the now nonmagical purse.
Limbs, wings, weapons and other symbols depicted
on its sides become usable. The awakened coin uses its
heads face to sense and speak, typically taking on a
persona similar to that of the figure depicted. It retains
a shadowy memory of where it has been before it was
awakened. It may move independently by hopping or
rolling.
The awakened coin is charmed by you for 30 days or
until you or your companions do anything harmful to
it. When the charmed condition ends, the awakened
coin chooses whether to remain friendly to you, based
on how you treated it while it was charmed.
