Question 1: When a PC levels up, do you roll the hit dice he just gained and add that to his total HP? Or do you just add, for example, 10 HP if he just gained another d10?

Question 2: How does NPC/creature HP work? For example, does every rat or wolf have the same HP or do you roll and add their hit dice before the battle? For example, why does Kiramor the Forest Shadow have 39 HP when his hit dice are 4d10+2d8+6 (and what's that +6 from?). I thought maybe it was half of what you could roll with the hit dice, but that's not it either... I'm ridiculously confused...

Until the official Pathfinder Bestiary comes out, what would you advise a neophyte such as myself to buy? The 3.5 core Monster Manual? Something else Paizo made, pre-"Pathfinder RPG," that I'm not aware of? I'd hate to spend a chunk of my small monetary reserve on the 3.5 manual or something only to find that there was a better option. Yes, I'm cheap, but I have no money and just spent half of it on dice.... XD

I've been looking through the rulebook for a while, trying to finish designing my character, and one thing I can't find is how bonus languages due to high intelligence are allotted. Is it based on the intelligence modifier (like +2 would give you 2 extra languages)? I just can't find this anywhere...

Thanks in advance.
