Personally, I allow this sort of action without spending a Hero Point. Don't see anything in the rules to suggest otherwise. Just because you use your magic to augment in a lot of cases doesn't mean you can't use the feats as skills in their own right. You'll probably need to spend a HP to make it work though...

I make it an all or nothing attempt - you need a complete victory to succeed. A major victory means the attempt failed but the opponent is wounded and out of combat. Anything below this just isn't good enough. I'd definatly not run this as an extended contest, although using it for the final action of an extended contest seems perfectly reasonable.

Why would you use close combat? You're using the feat, therefore roll against the feat's target number! That's what it's for.

Something like this? All the time.
