You're probably right (this is a consequence of my trying not to
restrict Lucky Stiff rerolling to the active player), so nay on Lucky
Stiff [Psmith], and a new proposal for a new Dark Gift::

  Lucky Stiff II [Psmith]

  LUCKY STIFF: A player who is a Lucky Stiff may, at most once per turn,
  designate a die roll he or she is about to make as a "swing roll". A
  player who is a Lucky Stiff may nullify the result of a swing roll
  (and cause the state of the game to be such as if that result had
  never occurred) by making another die roll for the same event, which
  shall also be considered a swing roll. Such nullification may be done
  at most twice per turn, and may not be done after a non-swing roll has
  been made or the turn in which the swing roll occurred has ended.
