Brawler Damage and Metal Fist Domain Ability

[Phoenix M]

So I have a third level brawler (unarmed strike does 1d6+str) in my group, that has now picked up a cleric level with the metal sub-domain. The domain grants 'Metal Fist' this allows a normal unarmed strike to deal 1d6+str damage, plus other benefits (i.e. ignore hardness).

The question is, do the dice given alter one another (stack, increase die size, etc.), or does the ignore hardness simply add to the existing 1d6?

Anybody...

Please...

Both are setting the damage to a specific die, not acting as a die increase nor are they acting as effective size changes for die increases. As written I would say no, they do not stack for a further increase. If it just a home game and not PFS I'd say just make a call if you don't think it'll be disruptive.
