Coin of the Changebringer

The Changebringer coin is a holy symbol of Avandra the Changebringer owned by Fresh Cut Grass. It is a typical holy symbol of Avandra: a coin-like medallion where one side depicts Avandra in profile with her hair flowing into the edges.

Fresh Cut Grass received the coin from Imahara Joe, who hoped that Avandra would guide them as she guided him. Fresh Cut Grass considered it a symbol of their growing faith in the Changebringer and often flipped it to make decisions or seek answers. It was notably given to Fearne Calloway to decide whether to Revivify Orym or Laudna.

History
Imahara Joe owned this holy symbol and found that it, and Avandra's guidance, helped and inspired him. Noticing that Fresh Cut Grass was struggling to find a moral direction, he gave it to them in the hopes that it may help them as well when they feel lost. Fresh Cut Grass used the coin as a decision-making method for the first time the next morning and flipped it to choose which direction to maneuver a Crawler.

Orym and Laudna were soon killed by Otohan Thull. Because Fearne Calloway, just resurrected herself using Fresh Cut Grass's last spell, had the ability to cast Revivify only once at that moment, the group needed to pick one person to resurrect and one person to remain dead for the time being. After a lengthy struggle to choose how to decide, Chetney Pock O'Pea suggested flipping a platinum coin. Fresh Cut Grass instead offered his Changebringer coin. He said a prayer to Avandra for guidance, then gave it to Fearne. Once Fearne flipped it to choose Orym, she quieted pocketed it. As they went to Joe's shop to hide from Thull, Fresh Cut Grass asked her to return it, but she refused. They later asked Joe about the coin to confirm that it and Avandra had never led him astray.

After a few days, Fresh Cut Grass again asked Fearne to return the coin. She pretended she did not remember the coin, then claimed that she did not know where she put it. Fresh Cut Grass found the coin in her fur using Locate Object and took it back. She suggested that the coin be instead melted down because she did not like it for choosing Laudna to die. Fresh Cut Grass pointed out that, conversely, it also chose Orym to live.

As Pike Trickfoot showed Fresh Cut Grass that they have a soul and are alive, she also referred to the medallion to indicate that she noticed that Avandra was watching over them. They briefly doubted her and wondered if the coin imparted them a soul. Later that day, they used the coin as their holy symbol to invoke Turn Undead and held it as they urged Laudna's soul to return during her resurrection ritual. The next morning, they also visited the Horizon Temple, where they showed the coin to Osli Kamyda and sought advice on Avandra; Osli wore a near-identical holy symbol on a chain.

After Fresh Cut Grass flipped the coin to determine that the group was in no danger, the others questioned his use of the coin to make big decisions and pointed out that the coin itself does not make decisions. Ashton urged him to wait for more obvious signs from Avandra and to trust those around him instead, and Orym suggested using coin flips for less dire situations. Laudna advised him not to let flipping the coin "become your entire personality". Imogen attempted to interpret the coin landing heads meant Avandra was saying Fresh Cut Grass should trust their own instincts and not depend on the coin, but he dismissed this. Off a joke from Fearne about his belief that Exandria is flat, he decided that the coin symbolizes Exandria. Shortly after, an offering of iron was needed to free Ashton from the mud, and Imogen suggested the coin.

While discussing the Ruby Vanguard's goal of killing the gods by releasing Predathos, the group questioned if the gods were good. Fresh Cut Grass insisted that the Changebringer was good and attempted to prove it by flipping the coin. However, to their horror, the coin and subsequent flips ultimately stated that she was a bad deity. Ashton wondered if they would learn something from this, but Fresh Cut Grass instead considered getting the coin "checked out" later. Imogen suggested they ask if she wants the group to succeed in stopping the Ruby Vanguard; the coin answered yes. They struggled to resolve the answers and wondered if the Changebringer felt guilty. Ashton took issue with externalizing the issue of the Ruby Vanguard in this manner.

Fresh Cut Grass later decided that the poor answers were a result of asking questions about Avandra herself: because gods are mysterious, questions about her directly will receive misleading answers. He continued to flip the coin for answers. He also noticed that sometimes this kind of answers are a result of FCG asking questions about other people. FCG also believes poor answers may be caused by the interferences during the Apogee Solstice in 843 PD.

Trivia

 * While trying to resolve the situation between Birdie Calloway, Yu Suffiad, and Fearne, Fresh Cut Grass (in an out-of-character joke) suggested that they flip a three-sided coin and kill one of them. Continuing the joke, Travis flipped a coin and, as Chetney, asked Fresh Cut Grass to pick a side. He chose heads, but the coin landed tails, indicating he was to die. This occurred in Joe's shop but before Fresh Cut Grass received the medallion.
 * During the fight against Otohan Thull in, Sam wondered whether to heal Fearne or Orym back to consciousness. Laura Bailey joked that he should flip a coin. Otohan would later kill both, and Orym would be resurrected as chosen by coin flip.
 * In, Sam's gas can joke involved pulling objects out of an attached box to simulate the portable hole. One of these objects was a Pog-like disc with his face on it. He wondered to Marisha if he should start using this as the coin.
