ie
restore challenges, yen, hitpoints etc. the last action just does not tak=

affect. eg say you have completed all challenges on objective Amazonian=
Hunt. You now must face an awakened creature say 6/8 (A1) and while doin=
g this
on of your runners is trashed but you get the objective. Your opponent t=

plays Karma Gain and you lose the opp of gaining the objective. ie you ne=
ed to
face the awakened creature again with the team you have remaining. No
reverting back to original situations. It would be used to basically mak=

last action reversed.
Hope this helps. It was just a "top of my head" idea for a one off count=

Hmm.. which ones do you have in mind? With all Runners, Challenges,
and yen being restored, it seems destined that the same thing would
happen - all it becomes is a glorified Astral Sense (the player now
knows that his 'pone has a Rough Night in his hand, so he has to pump up
Tin Man 2Y more.)
Any Objectives that you have in mind? I'm at a loss to name one. (I
could build more than a few to meet spec, of course...)

I'm drawing a blank, but wasn't there a MtG card that "reset" a player
back to the beginning of his turn? -- It had loads of problems
concering player's memories, iirc (as in, "FastJack only had one damage
on him, not two!)
