• Danger Sense. Tarzan has advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that he can see, such as traps and spells. To gain this benefit, he can’t be blinded, deafened, or incapacitated.

• Nature Speaker. Tarzan can cast speak with animals as a ritual. He can also can also spend 10 minutes performing a ritual on one willing beast he touches. For as long as he concentrates, up to 1 hour, he can see through the beast’s eyes and hear what it hears, gaining the benefits of any special senses that the beast has. During this time, Tarzan is deaf and blind with regard to his own senses.

About

After turning 18, Tarzan met Jane Porter, falling in love, and tracked her back to the United States only to find he despised civilization. They had a child together and moved back to Africa, where Tarzan went on many more adventures.

Tarzan is the archetypal feral man, athletic, and able to climb and leap in the manner of an ape. However, he is surprisingly intelligent; he is described as courageous and loyal, and inclined to protect those weaker than himself. He is eloquent and able to pass as a ‘civilized’ man, but he prefers the life of a wild man.

Tarzan never forgets the geographic arrangement of terrain, settlements, and areas of wilderness. In addition, he can forage fresh water and food each day for as many as 6 people as long as the environment nearby can support it.
