Part of this tactic seems to be based on the older Hero Wars ruleset - in HeroQuest, there is no doubling of the bonus on a complete success.
Otherwise, all of these tactics are great for players that want their heroes to stay involved in the action. And if you describe how your hero supports the primary actor very well, you may even inspire your narrator to give bonuses...
