Default Effects of Holy Water

Adventurers P. 114 says that Holy Water, "damage(s) an unholy creature with a suitable weakness."

Can someone direct me to where it specific how much damage?

It's listed in the monster write-up itself.

One example is DF Monsters' Vampire, pg. 59. Vampire has Divine Curse (Treat holy water as Acid, Exploits, p. 65), and Exploits pg 65 says

Anyone splashed with acid suffers 1d-3 corrosion damage where it hits. If this is the face, roll vs. HT. A failed roll – or a direct hit to the eyes – means damage is to the eyes.

So damage is minor, but there's a pretty decent chance of blinding the vampire if you hit it in the face. Overall it's mostly flavor though, not a good combat tactic compared to actually just stabbing it in the eyes.

For a good thread on holy water, see this one started by tbone last year: Why holy water? And other questions about holy-powered PCs.
