Hey everyone! Trying out a new design/layout for magic cards moving forward and changed them to tarot sized. Let me know what you think in the comments below!

Hypnotists Coin
Wondrous Item, uncommon
This gold coin is shaped like an open eye with a swirling spiral in the center. You can use an action to choose a target you can see within 5 feet of you who can see, hear, and understand you. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw contested by your Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check. On a failed save, the target is mesmerized by the coin, and you can suggest a course of activity (limited to 10 words or less) that the target pursues to the best of its ability. Creatures that can’t be charmed are immune to this effect. The suggestion must be worded in such a manner as to make the course of action sound reasonable. Asking the creature to perform an obviously harmful act ends the effect immediately. This effect ends after ten minutes or if you or your companions damage the target. On a successful save, the target becomes immune to this coin’s effect for 24 hours. Once this property of the coin has been used, it cannot be used again until the next dawn.

thanks for pointing out the typo! It's been corrected now, The verbiage is "you or your companions," so unless the damage dealer is considered your companion (or ally is another common term), than no, it wouldn't break the effect. If it helps, the coin produces a similar (albeit more limited) effect as a suggestion spell. The idea was the more limited version makes it less likely to be abused and game breaking.

Looks good! One quick typo or missing word... You mention "Asking the creature to perform an obviously harmful act ends the immediately." Assuming you meant "...ends the effect immediately". It also mentions that the effect ends after the PCs or anyone in the group damages the target - would this also come into effect if the hypnotized character's own party attacks them to stop them from doing something? (Hopefully I am not being too picky here...)
