I concur with these thoughts, and agree with the proposal. I would reconsider, if someone drafted a comprehensive plan to deal with all the current issues. Such a plan would need to include some justification for how barbarians can have "different but equitable" gameplay. Ideally, a lack of literacy would be a permanent tradeoff for the PC, similar to how Gaea followers cannot use weapons, or serpentmen cannot use boots. The current system of allowing the barbarian to eventually learn literacy is not great, especially since the player can eventually overcome it with no permanent negative effects.
