Heroes & Super-Heroes

[jrients]

Per Chainmail Heroes never check morale, give +1 morale bonus to their units, and can shoot down dragons passing overhead on a ten or less on 2d6. Super-Heroes have all the powers of Heroes and may force a morale check simply by moving near foes.

Should D&D Heroes and Super-Heroes have these powers? Should Warlocks and Lamas have the powers of Heroes, since that is listed as their combat ability? Has anybody played this way in the past? As a follow-up, does the multiple attacks versus normal men (& orcs, etc) rule from the D&D FAQ apply to clerics and magic-users?

I would play it this way:

Heroes get a morale bonus.
Superheroes no longer need to check for morale.

No bonus for attacking dragons, else dragons become an endagered species and come to the attention of wildlife protection agencies worldwide.

I'd say the morale effects should apply to Heroes and Super-heroes and members of other classes who fight as Heroes and Super-heroes. I'd also say that the multiple attacks rule from the D&D FAQ should apply to other classes as well as fighters (contrary to AD&D).

I love the "shooting dragons that fly overhead" rule from Chainmail but doubt I'd use it for D&D (although I might try to come up with something as a "tribute" to it; hmm, let me give this a little thought...).
