Modifying Stats to Zero or Worse

[Masque]

Can stat other than movement be modified to zero or lower? This came up in my second game ever when Kirai was next to two Canine Remains. Kirai's defense is normally 2 and the the Hunting Dogs ability gives -2 defense. I'm pretty sure that Kirai's defense would be zero. I don't know if there are other abilities that could possibly stack with this and make it go negative but I assume that is legal too. I make these assumptions based on the fact that Wk/Cg specifically say they can't be lowered beyond 1 unless they go to -.

No, a stat cannot be lowered to less than 0.

Reference: Page 11 of the manual.


Edit:
"Modifying Statistics
Stat modifiers are bonuses or penalties applied to a stat when resolving a situation. Stat modifiers are listed as +/- # Stat, indicating how much to add or subtract from the stat. Add bonuses (+) to stats before applying subtracting penalties (-). A stat cannot be reduced lower than 0, and any modifier that would reduce it lower reduces it to 0 instead."

Thanks, not sure how I missed that.
