is it possible to counterspell mord's?

is spell focus abj required to get the +2 cumulitive resist bonus from arcane def abj?

from my understand pale master levels count also for dispell checks/resisting dispels..but pm CL doesn't scale for spell penetration purposes..is that correct?

You can counterspell any spell with itself, so you can counterspell Mord's with Mord's.

You can't take arcane defense: abjuration without taking spell focus: abjuration, so no.

Every 2 PM levels counts as 1 caster level, but not for spell penetration.

While PM caster level boost boost your chance to dispel.

It doesn't boost your chance to resist dispels.

I revived this topic for random questions.

Does the Gift of Fortune (+2 to all saves) count towards the +20 saves cap or not? I guess the question is, if the Gift of Fortune behaves like the ability bonus gifts: is it added to the character itself (e.g. ability bonus gifts) or given as a buff permanent buff (e.g. Kensai perma-haste)?

Just tested: it counts toward the +20 cap. It is probably implemented as a +2 Universal Saving Throws property on the hide item.
