I believe any attack that suffers from such a skill cap uses the random hit location table - you don't have the option of aiming at a specific target. I do not know if you're allowed to trade in skill for a Deceptive Attack; if so, there's no reason not to drop skill down to 10 or 11 using DA prior to the cap coming into play (provided you have sufficient skill to do so - with the -4 for Move and Attack, you'd need skill 16 or higher).
