Sorry for the confusion -- what I meant is: given only "zurücksetzen" and no context, I would probably infer that the original message related to 'reset'. Which it doesn't, so that would be confusing.

"Zurücknehmen" works for me, or in the same vein you could try "widerrufen".

You can add

when you reroll.

Thanks for your work!
