Where again, mitigating factors apply before taking the damage.
This is where you are wrong ...
https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/2296-warding-bondAs you can see the description says:
"
Also, each time it takes damage, you take the same amount of damage."
Notice, that there is not a single word about "
type" of damage, wich is important ...
Bcs this damage have no type, you have no "mitigating factors" to apply.
Its a common misstake.
But there is a point for "no type" damages ... one of their strengths is that they cannot be resisted in any way ... from top of my head, i remember Hunter's Mark, or Sneak Attack ...
All damage has a type.
Hunter's Mark and Sneak Attack both deal the damage type of your weapon used to do the attack.
Force damage is the DnD version of "Untyped" damage in that it is more "Pure damage" with no element or specific weapon shape attached to it and of course its lack of available resistances (Besides things like Warding Bond) but even still, it it still subject to the few sources of Force Resistence and all forms of negation.
The damage type of Warding Bond follows the same rules as Hunter's Mark and Sneak Attack, where unspecified damage type means its type is based off what caused it. I.e. It will be the same damage type as whatever dealt damage to the bonded target.
This damage will then follow the standard damage rules and be modified by all damage modifiers on the target (Resistances/Vulnerability and negations). This is the basis of all damage in the entire game and the explicit reason why "Untyped" damage doesn't exist. Any attempts to utilize some form of "Untyped" damage will simply resort to using one of the 2 exotic damage types, Force or Psychic due to their much less common resistances/vulnerabilities.
