Also as a DnD character Tarzan had 18 (at least) in every ability score so he was able to pick up literacy as a crossclass skill. However it should be remembered that what Tarzan was reading and writing was not 'english' but rather his own unique language which he invented himself (Jungle Tales of Tarzan gives details iirc) anyway that sounds like he had a major Linguistic talent (which would be a Feat in DnD)Nonetheless ERB throughout the stories talks about how Tarzan was easily bored with mundane 'civilised life' and how he'd much rather be out in the jungle than licked beneath the veneer of civility that was easily dropped once he was away and how his animal instinct would take over. He was able to rage 'like the surly bull apes amongst whom he was raised' and he must have had at least HD12 to overcome the many injuries he endured from battles with Bogani, Crocodiles et alYes I too am an ERB fan<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
