	This power was so changed from my original draft that I'm not really 
the person to answer the question; John Hopler's the one who can give the 
"official" answer.  My thoughts are twofold, and conflicting:

1.  In many cases you'd probably not want to grant the extra damage for, say, 
Noggin shots without imposing a standard hit location penalty (perhaps on 
some sort of attack roll the syker has to make to hit the target with the 
floating flame).

2.  OTOH, in my Deadlands games, scaling up and down the hit location chart 
to hit a better location occurs quite often.  I wouldn't necessarily consider 
it grossly unbalancing to automatically let the syker hit a designated 
location.  After all, he is paying Strain.
