Can Breakout Rolls go below 0?

[Colossus]

 

 

If a character  is attacked by a Mental Illusion (or Mind Control, Telepathy)  that is cumulative, has just a high dice total, or rolls really well can the defender end up with a Breakout Roll of -1 or lower?  

 

I know a character always succeeds on a Breakout Roll if they roll a 3, but has the Breakout Roll increases by 1 every step on the Time Table a negative number would be a huge benefit for the attacker.

A Breakout Roll cannot be reduced to less than 3.  In the event that a mentalist rolls more than 40 over the desired effect level (for a "normal" EGO 10 character), they would need to have the appropriate Advantage on their ability to prevent the Breakout Roll from improving by +1 over each increment on the Time Chart.
