Does anyone know why this passage is throwing me an error?:

With age, also comes the self awareness to realize that there are also things I am not so good at, such as
*fake_choice
	*if (high_skill != "might") and (second_skill != "might") #I'm physically very weak.
		*set might %-15
		I am not very strong. In fact I'm actually very weak. I have a hard time carrying heavy objects, and a lack of general athleticism. Fortunelty for me, strength isn't a trait that women are expected to have, so I can general rope a guard or two into helping me when I'm too weak to do something.

Quicktests keeps telling me that there is a problem in the *if line at character 22 where it expected no more tokens, but found a close paratheses? But I need that paratheneses for the equation to work?

Edit: I did attempt to switch from *fake_choice to *choice with the proper *gotos, but I am still getting the error.
