Default Monsters level

Hey everyone, newish player here.

I was playing a game of munchkin the other day and came across an interesting situation. Another player was in combat with a level 4 monster which had a + 5 against dwarfs but the player was not a dwarf. He needed my help to defeat the monster, all I could do was play a card which gets rid of a level 8 monster or below. I said that technically I could not play it because against me, it is a level 9 monster even though it says level 4 on the card. He argued that I could play it because The +5 is adding to the combat level, not the monsters level.

Question is, what does make the monsters level & who was right?

Thanks, Ben

Your friend was right. A monster's Level (note that it will be capitalized) always refers to the Level printed on the card, and does not include any positive or negative enhancers, penalties, or bonuses.

I'd also point out that it appears you're misunderstanding when a monster would get a bonus against you. It would only receive that +5 if you are actually helping, or in combat, alongside your friend. Playing a card to "help" or hurt your friend or the monsters is not considered helping in terms of the game.
