Just because a +5 weapon can overcome DR/Alignment does not mean the opposite is true. Holy is a +2 enchantment, not a +5. Aura of faith does what it says it does. It weapons are considered to be good aligned that is it. If the creatures DR requires something else besides good they still need to have that element. For example a Pit Fiend requires good and silver. Aura of faith does not even make the weapon magical so unless the weapon is already magical DR/Magic is not overcome by Aura of faith.

Makes more sense that way. I probably was reading it backwards, thanks for the clarification

If I'm reading the Aura of Faith paladin class feature correctly, then that should mean that a paladin and his allies can bypass most DR of evil creatures, limited to DR/Epic. The Aura of Faith feature says that a paladin's (and his allies within 10 feet) weapon attacks are treated as good-aligned for bypassing DR, which at the point of DR in magic equivalence it counts as a +5 magic weapon, which also bypasses magic, cold iron, silver, adamantine, and evil DR.

What about the Empyreal Knight archetype, which loses Divine Grace, could they grant themselves a limited time use Divine Grace?
