Attached image of what it looks like in FG2

Any ideas why its doing this?

[Zeus]

Try adding the text 'REGIONAL BACKGROUND' after the name of the background (on the same line).

[Czarisyn]

Try adding the text 'REGIONAL BACKGROUND' after the name of the background (on the same line).

Just tried that, and same results

[Fot5]

Mine looks like this, and it parses fine.

ZREGIONAL benefit name here REGIONAL BENEFIT
description of benefit here; Associated
Associated Skills: list of associated skills here

The difference that I see between mine and yours is:

1) the "REGIONAL BENEFIT" tag that ends the benefit's name line. I suspect that this is the cause of the long node that is mentioned in the log.

2) my descriptions end with "; Associated" just before the listing of the associated skills.

[Czarisyn]

Adding BENEFIT seemed to do the trick
but the ";Associated" part came in as a part of the description
