I see no big problem with low con. A mage looses 2 hitpoints per level until level 10 if he has 7-14 instead of 16 con, but you gain 6 HP for each fighter level you take until level 9. 18 charisma on the other hand helps a lot in early BG. Play the prologue with 18 cha first and with 17 afterwards and you'll be surprised about how unfriendly and less rewarding those guys have become when you finish their quests (especially Hull and the guy who needs crossbow bolts).

Crossbows are weak in BG since they grant only 1 base attack per round while bows grant 2.

87/95 is quite nice. If it's worth your time rerolling for a better character is your decision. If you do so I strongly recommend putting points in longbows. If you get a roll of 89 it's worth lowering dex from 18 to 17 in order to raise con from 14 to 15. Don't overestimate the meaning of the 2nd strength value, if you raise 18/?? str by one in BG you'll always reach 19, independent of the second number.
