There is a floor of -300%, at which point you do one whole heck of a lot of damage

I'm not sure what you mean by 'innate' resistance. Some critters have an auto power simply called "Resistance" that gives them resistance (and sometimes vulnerability) to certain damage types; even though the power is always called Resistance, it varies from one enemy to another.
However, resistance from any source is still vulnerable to debuffs. You can see this by using the Surveillance power, or a Power Analyzer temp power. And as Catwhoorg said, the only lower limit is -300%, which you won't usually reach.
It's also worth noting that monsters with resistance apply that resistance against resistance debuffs. So if an enemy has 50% damage resistance, and you hit it with a 20% resist debuff, it will resist 50% of the debuff, so your 20% debuff will become 10%, giving the mob 40% total resist.

50% res, 100 damage attack: 50 damage dealt
50% - 20% debuff (reduced to 10%; 40% final res), 100 damage attack: 60 damage dealt
50 * 1.2 = 60

Cool. Thanks, team, for the quick help.

Oops, sorry.
Then who was that that I just saw say they were a female? Dangit. Stupid memory not working ever.

If a mob has 0 dam res, then I debuff him (using, say, a sonic attack), does that debuff have any effect? Does he actually gain a negative resistance?
I guess another way of asking that question is, "Is there a floor to a critter's damage resistance?"
In the same vein, I've read that a mob's inherent resistance can't be debuffed. Does that mean he has to have some sort of superpower or other effect active in order to be debuffed? Again, asked a different way, does this mean the mob has a floor to damage resistance equal to his "innate" resistance?
