Well.... Come to think of it, Bad Karma was one of the rules in ShRI...
Basically, it allowed you to burn 2 karma, and instead of augmenting your
successes by adding an auto, you could cancel a success from your opponent.

Say, he jumps off a building fairly confident he can catch that phone line.
He rolls, gets two successes, you see this, realise that if he makes it
he'll be back and use 4 or yours to cancel his.

He then misses and then goes splat.

He could use his Karma to counter the effect however, which then turns into
a sort of karmic auction....
