Is there anyway where it says at what levels chars gain ability points?

-is there any way to know at what EXP chars level up?

-If A char is paralyzed because lose of strength, why if i give the strength back it keeps paralyzed?

Didn't find where it says any of that, but since it's based on OGL which is based on D&D, I know off hand the answers:

a) You gain 1 new ability point every 4 levels, that is to say 4, 8, 12, 16, 20.

b) The exp you need for each level is:
2 = 1000
3 = 3000
4 = 6000
5 = 10000
... etc.
You add the EXP needed for the current level(for example for 4 it's 6000.), then you add 1000*(current level)(in case of level 4, it's 4000). So 6000+4000 = 10000. Thus you need 10000 to get to level 5. But since you already have 6000, you "really" need only 4000.
(See this table for a list http://www.monkeysushi.net/gaming/DnD/XP%20table.html)
The actual mathematical formula goes something like: XP required for next level = 1000 * [level + C(level, 2)] where C is the combinatoric funcion.
EXAMPLE: How much XP does a 28th level epic character have? At least 1000 * [27 + C(27, 2)] = 378,000 XP.


c) Probably a bug.

If you click on your level number in the character screen you will be informed how many points you exactly need to reach a new level.

xp(level)=level*(level-1)*500, no need for combinatorics.

Was the character paralysed for more than one round after getting cured?

Yes, Since I didnt have more 2nd level spells, my last was to restore his strenght, , I didnt have restore paralyze, so it was Creeply watching how all his teammates died one by one, while she styll paralyzed by the spiders, finally it saw how the spiders approched her and kill her without being able to move, while having 11 strenght, It was a horror movie story to be honest.

Good point. The code lacks a line to remove the paralysis once the ability is back above 0. :x
