I can't find out whats wrong with this bit of HTML, I'm trying to do.

The gods have stood by and watched their world decay and crumble for millennia. If the humans cannot survive with out the gods constantly maintaining balance then they don't deserve life.

But the gods had been deceived by one of their own. Melkord. Melkord the vile, Melkord the destroyer, Melkord the deceiver, Melkord the shame of the Heavens.

For thousands of years Melkord has been working to corrupt the humans, to bend them to his wishes. He seeks an apocalypse, a hell on Earth. He alone of the gods recognized the self-destructive potential of the humans. Using his powers Melkord has exploited this weakness in the humans, corrupting rulers of countries, causing war, and irrational hatreds, sometimes from afar sometimes very near.

When the gods discovered his treachery the tried to destroy him, but he fled to Earth in one of his avatars, where he has remained for the last two hundred years. Melkord has not stopped his efforts to destroy Earth.

His efforts have become weaker, as his avatar form is considerably weaker then his god form. But if he returns to his god form he will be destroyed. He knows that the other gods won't dare attack him while he stays on Earth. He is both right and wrong. They don't want to destroy Earth so they won't attack in their god forms, but they will attack in their avatar forms.

All of the your powers need to fit in with the god you are the avatar of. For instance the God of Storms would probably have Wind Control (Telekinesis), Lightning Bolts (Energy Blast or RKA), Create Storms (Change Environment) and the like.

Only one person can be a certain god, so that means there can be one Sea God but not two.

Can anybody help? Also unless you know what the HERO System is you can ignore the bulk of that.

You're overlapping your tags.

<b><u> text </b></u>
SHOULD be
<b><u> text </u></b>

Edit: What is this for, anyway?

I don't understand what's wrong?..

However,

<B><U>Banned Powers</B></U>

should be

<b><u>Banned Powers</u></b>

and so forth.

sometimes if html isn't well-formed, you can experience problems.

These tags are not nested properly. It should be like this:

<B><U>content</U></B>

You should put the end tags in the reverse order of the start tags. In other words, they should be nested from the inside out, if that makes sense.

and yeah, just a little suggestion...

it would be must easier to use the <span> tag in this case and the style attribute or class attribute. ignore this if you don't know CSS.

Also, Extra Dimensional Movement needs to be Area Effect, 3 hex area. The Gods need to be able to annoy others with their vast powers over time and space.
Jaysus, I still remember Hero System 14 years later? Pathetic.

Yes. Celdrone, I would highly recommend learning CSS. It may be extra work at first, but in the long run it will make your web designs easier and more consistent.

Ah, okay. Was just curious because anything that seems to be letting one play as a god piques my curiousity, heh.

A couple of years ago they released the new edition, the 5th edition or F.R.E.D. as we hero-geeks have come to call it.

I also think I should add that it looks like all the text is going to be output onto one line as there are no line break tags <br> or paragraph tags <p> (you could also use header tags, h1 to h6)
