I don't think any of the stats should be relative to the others (i.e.
a Troll with strength 53 is stronger than a gnome strength 53), but
absolute.

This means that (say) carrying capacity is determined only from
strength, not race, build etc.  Otherwise we'd need a *lot* of tables
or formulae to determine how much weight to put on each
creature/object before collapse, wouldn't we.

You could still do as J-M suggest, but why not do it by having two
stats for strength, i.e. strength
			   /\
			  /  \
		      speed  endurance

Or something like that?

And let a dwarf have SP 20 but END 60, the elf have SP 40, and END 20,
while the average human could have SP 35 END 40.  Or something.
