Default Re: monsters with negative levels - possible?

As far as I can tell, monster's levels can't be affected by any sort of card. The cards you're thinking of, "dis-enhancements" are only affecting their combat strength. Combat strength (of monsters OR players) CAN go below zero and into the negatives. Player levels can't go below 1, and monster levels are never touched by cards, as far as I've checked.

It's possible you may be using older Munchkin cards, though. In that case, monster enhancers said stuff like "+5 to Level of Monster." This is because older Munchkin printings had this confusing distinction between "actual level" and "effective level," which has since been eliminated from the game. Level is now simply your level or the monster's level (listed on the card), and Combat Strength is Level + Bonuses - Penalties. Monster enhancers directly affect combat strength and not level, and hence would fall under bonus or penalty.
