Negative level
From DDO wiki
Each negative level gives a creature a -2 penalty on attack rolls, saves, skill checks, ability checks. Also inflicts a -1 penalty to effective level (affects things like spells and abilities which rely on caster level or character level). Negative levels stack.
If the target has as many negative levels as its Hit Die or levels, it dies.
Negative levels also affect maximum hit points. For monsters, each negative level reduces hit points by 10 %. [1]
