[3.5] Question about leveling up.
I've spent several hours now searching for an answer to one question:
What happens when I gain a level? To be specific, what happens to my ability scores when I level up?
Are they supposed to increase as I gain levels, like every other RPG I've ever played? If so, how?
Is there something I missed? It's driving me crazy.

Re: [3.5] Question about leveling up.
Every fourth level (that is, level 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, etc.), you gain a 1-point increase to an ability score of your choice.
In addition, they can be increased with magic items (in Core, each stat has a magic item which can increase it by 4 or 6), though these bonuses remain only as long as the magic item is worn.
You can also gain permanent increases by using the Wish spell or one of six different magic tomes, which, when read, provide a permanent bonus of +1-+5 (they're also in the DMG); however, this type of permanent bonus can only increase each skill by +5.

Re: [3.5] Question about leveling up.
In addition, with the tombs above, you only benefit from the highest one you've used. So if you buy and use two +1 tombs of intellect, you've wasted it, since you only gain +1. Some people save their gold until they can get a higher boost for that reason.
