Yes, the dodge becomes the new TN for the attacker.  Also the person dodging 
must "give ground" in some way.  I will usually give the dodger a bonus if 
they have cover to duck behind, or dive to, etc...

Bralin' attack, must hit with a raise.  Defender can try to break the grapple 
on each action, but must beat the attacker in an opposed str check.  I also 
say that if the attacker actually has Fightin': Wrasslin' that the defender 
must get a raise.

I'm a little unclear with what you're asking here, if you mean, "If I shoot 
black lightning into a swimming pool full of people will they all get 
electrocuted?" or,"If I fry a guy in a big metal suit will he take extra 
damage?" Then it would be a mashal's call.
