Neither Monsters nor Players can have negative LEVELS.

However, BOTH can have negative Combat Strength. When you play "dis-enhancers" on a Monster, it doesn't change the Monster's Level, it changes the Monster's Combat Strength, which is the total of the Monster's Level plus (and/or minus) any other enhancers, one-shots, etc. played on that Monster.

Same goes for the player. If you are Level 2 and have a penalty of -5 against you, you are STILL Level 2, but your Combat Strength is -3.
