I have a character in my group that has a modified Saint template from the Book of Exhalted Deeds, and is also an 11th level paladin with a bonded weapon in place of a mount.
The saint template allows him to inflict d8 pts of holy damage on evil creatures, and he also has the ability from being a paladin to enchant his weapon with the holy weapon enchantment.
My question is this - does the same type of damage stack if it is from the same type - in this case d8 holy from his template and 2d6 holy form the weapon enchantment?

The Holy weapon damage type is not named so, (to me) no question yes they stack. The weapon ability states "extra 2d6 points of damage against all creatures of evil alignment" not "extra 2d6 HOLY points...."

Thanks. I had thought that it was a named type of damage, but if it is not, than I totally agree with you and that they would stack.
The Saint template is pretty overpowered for its drawback, compared to all other templates out there. The designers even said it had an artificially low LA (page 29, alongside the requirements to qualify for sainthood), because the drawbacks would be roleplay-based..
But yes, the 1d6 (1d8 vs undead/outsiders) holy damage does stack with the Holy weapon enhancement.
