I mean, if the stats were actually taken at face value, strength would increase the maximum equipment load instead of endurance

I think Equip Load would have to be some kind of equation based on both. Strength allows you to lift an object. Endurance allows you to carry that object great distances before getting tired.

But str should affect your ability to hurt things with a punch even if you don't put a strip of leather over your knuckles (100% unarmed combat does basically nothing and isn't increased by STR; if you wanna punch things, you need at least a cestus).

Maybe it just means your bones take more force before they snap.
