Wow, this sounds like the single worst heroic ability.
Going from Attack-10 to Attack-5 against and enemy with Defence-10 means your chance to hit drops from 46% to 14%, much worse than the x2 number of attacks.
(Just as a comparison the chance of one attack at 46% is 46%, the chance of hitting at all with two attacks at 14% each is merely ~26%)

Unless ofcourse I misunderstood you

hmm, forgot about those tables. now that i've actually looked at them, how about double atacks, attack skill -10% (-1 with base 10), with an increasing bonus as the hero remains on the HoF

Before the thread's forgotten:
Magically Tuned: All leadership gains due to added experience stars goes instead to magic leadership-- even if the commander didn't have any to begin with. In addition, may uncover magic sites he "shouldn't" have been able to, chance of this scales.
Living Right: Loses 4 HP, but gains Luck and ages at half speed. (Alt: aging slows to half as scaling factor)

(Was fooling around with a Pangea game, and an early attack on an undead province put three of my dryads in the hall of fame. Two of them gained Unequaled Obesity. That was a strange mental image; I guess that's what they mean with 'vuluptuous'.)

I got that with one of those EA Acro flying commanders. (whatever they are called?) Try to imagine a fat guy flying around in one of those contraptions.
