That's the end of my book-by-book write-up of Tarzan. Everything I've mentioned so far was suggested by specific scenes in the stories. There are still a number of significant skills Tarzan acquires in later books, though. The ones that come to mind are:
3 Live Support: Immune to Aging (actually, it's revealed he's had this since early on in his career) Follower: Jadbalja the Golden Lion Follower: Nkima (Monkey) 3 Perk: RAF Colonel Combat Piloting Many Languages
(Tarzan created by Edgar Rice Burroughs, character sheet created by Bill Svitavsky [wsvitavsky@Rollins.Edu])
