Doppelganger

So it came up that my friend, at level 8, had accumulated a negative combat bonus (I think it was -3 or something around there), due to a bunch of other cards that were thrown into play, and to his lack of weapons and armor (he'd died, and not received any new equipment to replace it.) He then played Doppelganger, insisting that it created another character with a combat level of 8, bringing his side to +5. However, the rest of us believed that it doubled his effective combat level, bringing his side down further to -6.

From what I have read here and in the FAQs, I believe Doppelganger duplicates the effects of one-time-use items, such as potions, and so playing Doppelganger while at a negative effective combat level just hurts your side more.

Is this correct?
