For a regular spell, you can specify a target location such as a certain hex. However, what are the rules skill penalty wise for if you wanted to target a specific spot inside that hex? For example, can you cast Explode on a subject (Some person) and target his head (or even his brain)? Would this just be -7 to skill in addition to other penalties such as range? I'm assuming directly hitting his brain would be another -5 (I think that's what it was) due to not being able to see your target. Of course, this would be devastatingly lethal and possibly OP, but maybe -12 + range penalties justifies it?
