If it makes sense in the situaton, then you could just allow the character to loan themselves APs. If they get a good enough victory, then they gain the APs without losing them. You'd need an ability somewhere around 15w1 to get away with this, though, that would give you a 56% chance of getting 5 APs for free. If you wanted to be a little more generous, you could halve the difficulty for self-lending, or extend the augmentations chart to include AP bonuses, so characters can just take time out of a contest to boost their APs back up again. The main difference is whether or not you allow them to use the same ability twice or not. Self-lending: yes, Boosting: no.
