This throws things outta whack in some cases though I like the standard
rule :)
But I would say maybe use CEL for that case above as a crtical dodge.

Ahhh...

the damage if a character is NWI+3 or NWI-2? 
How does NWI change? What is the fatigue Value of HTH or NWI? (Broken 
hands, teeth, and claws) 
A. [No WSB or Fatigue Value] [Untrained HTH add to roll (25- partial 
expertise)] 
[Trained HTH as per any other combat skill 
NWI is applied as for EL on roll to hit only 
severe hit -- +(NWI/2(RU)) x -1 
Deadly hit -- +NWI x -1 ] 
Untrained use also applies for hand-to-hand


as to NWI being helped for damage..that I'll have to think about...I don't
think so so far :)
To me its a level of 'skill' not damage.
