Not all species have setbacks to balance their bonuses. Vulcans, for instance, are both stronger and smarter than Humans, hence the STR, DEX, CON, INT, and WIS bonus, but they are slow to socialize, and completely dispassionate, hence the CHA penalty. I believe that the scores are correct, or at least adequate, but if you wish to dispute that, it is your right.

Also, bear in mind that score adjustments only move max and min values up or down, so you could still have a Vulcan of average STR, like the one submitted by CM. I have never seen an episode with a weak Vulcan in it, but I suppose it's possible.

If you do wish to dispute the scores, I request that you please explain why.
