Combat Trait

Horadric Cube

Passive: When nearby enemy minions die they might (10% ?) drop a chipped gem. When nearby heroes die, they drop a flawed gem.
Active: When activated, converts 3 gems of the same stage to the next stage. 3 chipped become 1 flawed, 3 flawed become 1 regular.
Additional Rules: Max Gem type is regular. Players can only hold 1 regular, 3 flawed, 3 chipped. If no gem conversion can occur, Attribute active button is disabled.

Extra Skills: Deckard Cain has 3 ways to use gems (Skills 1,2,3). Gem skills must be cast on a Target ally. When any Gem skill is activated, it consumes all stored gems.

Heroic Abilities

Stay a While and Listen

Deckard Cain tells a story and makes all enemies in range fall asleep for the duration of the channeling.
Sleep Functionality: Sleeping heroes cannot act but wake up when they are attacked. This is a stun which can be interrupted by attacking the stunned hero. Sleeping heroes are defenseless and take extra damage from attacks while sleeping.

Duration: 5 seconds
Cooldown: 120 seconds

Extra Flavor Concept: Each time this is cast, Deckard says his iconic line then starts into one of his dialog speeches from Diablo games and continues the speech for the duration. Each time it is activated it should pick randomly from a pool to add variety.
