Negative level is a debuff in Pathfinder: Kingmaker.
Effect[]
For each negative level a creature suffers, it takes a cumulative –1 penalty on all ability checks, attack rolls, combat maneuver checks, Combat Maneuver Defense, saving throws, and skill checks. In addition, the creature reduces its current and total hit points by 5 for each negative level. The creature is also at a reduced level for the purposes of level-dependent actions (such as spellcasting). Spellcasters do not, however, lose any prepared spells or slots as a result of suffering negative levels. If a creature's negative levels equals its total Hit Dice, it dies.
Negative levels can be removed through spells like restoration. A creature whose permanent negative levels equal its Hit Dice cannot be brought back to life through raise dead spell, it can only be done through resurrection spell which removes all negative levels after a dead creature is restored to life.
