The carrying capacity (CC) formula is based on the character's initial weight. Dwarves, Gourks, and Omphaaz can carry more because they weigh more initially. Humans, Lizzords, Whiskahs, and Elves can carry average-sized loads (Elves low average). Pixies, Gnomes, and Ratlings can't carry worth a cr*p because they're so initially light themselves.
I think a STR of either 16 or 17 means you can carry your weight. 18 or higher means you can carry loads more than your weight, by an increasing proportion of the intial character weight.
