Wellard,
1. I think that most people prefer the IWD2 interface to the original BG1/2/IWD1 style interface.
2. It's no big deal to have an INT 8 for a pally, but I think that you'll find that rangers are hurt by having a low INT. Good rangers are rather dependent on their skills (i.e. Hide, Move Silently, Search, Wilderness Lore, etc.).
