I'm still relevantly new to Pathfinder. I'm rolling a wizard for the first time and I really have no clue how to figure out caster level. Like I understand its usually equal to levels in a spellcasting class. But I don't understand what exactly is a class, like is Evocation a class?

Like I have 2 evocation spells, so that makes me a caster level of 2?

Sorry if this is a real basic question. I just recently started playing Pathfinder about a week ago and I'm still learning the ropes. So you may see me post other simple questions in the coming days, but anywho.

When I'm looking at any NPC or monster and their hp shows as, 15 (2d8+6).
Does that mean its base hp is 15 and every level after that I would roll 2d8+6 to determine what it would be the following level?
