Yes, paralysis is nice in many cases :)

Would that be really bad?
There could be various types of poisons, reducing hp or sp or gr and such, and 
for high level monsters reduce attributes.
I would argue players should take some precautions when fighting high level 
monsters, and check for this kind of attacks. Which would be an interesting 
use of the knowledge stuff, btw - when you spot a monster, if you know things 
about it, just popup information or give big traits - poison attack, warning!

As does fire attacks, or other things.

Then it should be rebalanced for players :)
