The Negatin weapon ability will reduce target's DR if blablablá and IF the attack damages.
Does this mean that for the first attack, the DR is the original one? And after damaging with a reduced damage, AFTER, the DR will be lowered until begin of next round?

Thanks.

Also, I don't quite understand this sentence:
Thus, if the +1 negating lance above hits a demon with DR 10/good and cold iron, it would leave the demon with DR 10/cold iron and 5/good for 1 round.
Normally we have to diferenciate AND from OR.
10/good AND cold iron will be transformed to 10/cold iron and 5/good. I don't get this. What if I hit it, now, with a Steel good weapon. I think 10 should be resisted but it is unclear.
What if I hit it with a cold iron (unalaigned) weapon. Again, 10 resisted I believe...
But this is not what the text says.
But again, AND is different than OR.
Help?

Yes, the first hit has to overcome the original DR, After that, for 1 round, ALL other hits against the target (not only your own) have to overcome 5 less DR on the alignment DR part.
As for your second question, the DR/ cold iron remains unaffected.
in the example above DR 10/good AND cold iron, the weapon has to be good-aligned AND cold iron, or you get the DR 10.
If you hit it with the negating lance, it becomes DR10/cold iron and DR5/good, so a cold iron weapon would only suffer DR5 for 1 round.
If it would say DR 10/cold iron OR good, then hitting it with a cold iron weapon would overcome DR, and hitting it with a steel good-aligned weapon would also overcome DR. That's the difference between AND and OR in the DR entry.
I hope this makes sense
