Some final corrections to the lookup tables. Lore for 15 INT/WIS should only be 3, not 5, and the move silently bonuses for elves, half-elves, and halflings were five points too high: 
// Fix the incorrect thieving skill racial bonus for elves, half-elves and halflings (Hurricane and aVENGER)
COPY_EXISTING skillrac.2da override
  SET_2DA_ENTRY 2 4 8 15 // elf MS 20 => 15
  SET_2DA_ENTRY 4 4 8 10 // halfelf MS 15 => 10
  SET_2DA_ENTRY 5 4 8 20 // halfling MS 25 => 20
  BUT_ONLY

// Fix the incorrect lore bonus for 15 INT/WIS (Ascension 64 and Hurricane)
COPY_EXISTING lorebon.2da override
  REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~^15.+$~ ~15      3~
  BUT_ONLY

    @CamDawg

    The BG2 manual actually says that the racial bonus to Move Silently is:

    Elf -> 5%
    Half-elf -> nothing
    Halfling -> 10%

    Not sure what the correct number should be.

    skillrac.2da is the sum of the base score and racial bonuses--everyone starts at 10 for move silently, so elves at +5 start at 15, half-elves with no bonus remain at 10, and halflings at +10 end up at 20. This was originally aVENGER's find and fix if you want more background.

    Ah ok, I didn't understand that those values were the sum of two different numbers.

    No worries, I scratched my head when I first saw it, too.

    The backward post further adds to @SethDavis' already well-document awesomeness. @Avenger_teambg may want to document this as well :D

    Confirmed Applied:

    SKILRACE.2DA:
    Elf MS reduced to +15%
    Halfelf MS reduced to +10%
    Halfling MS reduced to +20%

    Not enough things about halflings to nerf really...

    LOREBON.2DA:
    15- VALUE reduced to +3%

    Confirmed Fixed in Build 0914

    At character generation with these 13 Dex races we get the following values for Move Silently:

    Elf -> 15
    Half-elf -> 10
    Hafling -> 20

    Also confirmed that a character starting with 15 WIS and 15 INT received 3 extra lore from each stat.
