This sounds like it prooves my point ...

Damage types have no rules > there is no rule against typeless damage.
Damage resistances rely on types > there is no resistance against typeless damage.

Exactly as i said ...
Thank you. smile

Of all the damage types that exist in the universe, "Force" is the "This doesn't have an actual type" damage type.
So you claimed ... multiple times ... i still dont see any source.

You know there were times this "nuh-uh" and "yuh-huh" would i concider fun ... but i gues jut not anymore.
So unles you have anything solid ...

Sory not sory, but you have nothing.

You remind me a joke:

There are two types of people ...
One of them can extrapolate answers from incoplete data. wink

(Disclaimer for people who are seeking, or just seeing fights in everything that is not just "yes, you are 100% corect" ... notice that i didnt say he is a joke, nor anything of that sort ... just that his statement reminded me that one ... hope that is clear enough.)

"Sneak Attack causes the weapon it uses to deal more damage. The intent is that an unusual weapon like the net that deals no damage doesn't magically start dealing damage with Sneak Attack. But a DM is free to override that intent. The RAW certainly isn't entirely clear here."

Ok ...
That is acceptable, especialy that unclear part.

But im willing to accept it, clearly i was wrong about those.

And?
What weapon is Warding Bond using to deal you that damage? laugh

@JeremyECrawford If the cleric has resistance, nothing in the rules says it doesn't work.

Original post is not aviable ...

So, we cant really know the question wich was asked ...
Question might aswell be about if Warding Bond will work on someone who allready had a resistance (for example if i cast it on Raging Barbarian, or a Tiefling) ... in wich case, i 100% agree, there is nothing in the rules saying it doesn't work.

Even if i would be willing to believe that question was indeed if damage is halved twice ...
I dont see him saying yes, the damage is halved twice ... i see him stating that "Warding Bond works", of wich there was no doubt on my mind ... the question was how, not if.

And as Jeremy said himself (and i did aswell in previous post), See the Player's Handbook, page 197.

So ... not good enough. :-/
But, whathever that may or may not be worth ... i appreciate your effort.

I must have missed that part ...
Where exactly he stated that?

And how else would you define double diping? laugh

The problem here is, that tooltip of that spell itself says, clearly as day "you take the same amount of damage".
How can you take half of that damage and think its perfectly fine and corect, is just beyond me.

//Edit:
But you know what? W/E ...

We are one Reply from Red Queen storming here anyway, so im throwing a towel ...

You have your interpretation, i have mine ...
As it seems we are unable to find any solid source that would proove wich is wrong, so ... that would be it i gues.
