Not in my opinion. Scent would be fine.
Further, Strength is a poor ability. Yeah, +1 more dmg and +1 more hit is moderately nice, but as we all know, Int and Wis and Cha are the power stats for the real classes, you know, the ones that are actually powerful, like Druids, Clerics, and Wizards. Even Sorcerors and Psions.
Is someone arguing Strength is powerful because it lets the Fighter do +1 hit and dmg?
And that a race is ok, because it has +2 to this spectacularly potent ability?
Dwarves, as noted, have a vaunted physical ability without -2 to 2 mental stats. Just silly.
Half-Orc is a terrible race.
