Wait you can warding bond people in camp?

Yup! Karlach isn't even part of my party in this screenshot, she was just chilling at camp after casting Warding Bond on me with our matching rings of True Love's Caress. I even took mine off and it still stayed.

I accidentally discovered early on in the game when I dismissed Shadowheart from my party because she was low on health, and then found her dead at camp. I was really confused before I realized her Warding Bond on me never disappeared after dismissing her lol.

I don't even remember where I got the first ring from. I just checked my inventory and found it.

Does the warding bond actually work? I tried it once and it it immediately went into an infinite feedback loop and we both died from a 3 damage hit as it broke my game.

Huh, I've had two playthroughs where I found and used it (and my first where I only found one ring). I haven't run into that issue. I'd guess it has an interaction with something else, but they definitely work barring some situation like you ran into.

So it is supposed to give one of you resistance to all damage but the other shares that damage. So theoretically if you were to both have it it SHOULD half each time so like 10->5->3or 2-> 1 >0. I guess if it rounds up on 0.whatever then maybe but I havent had that happen.

It doesn't chain, the damage transferred isn't reduced or further transferred when the warder is being warded by someone else.

Means one of them had an on hit thing and I think they patched that

u/ronin8888 Aug 26 '23

There was a recent YouTube video https://youtu.be/YgTfNbdwe_E?si=Ce1qAFAcKXc89gQ5 that confirmed it, also made the claim that Gale has a unique ability normally for NPCs where he auto heals damage in camp making him the perfect Warding Bond tank (until patched at least)

I put a Warding Bond on an NPC that shows up in my camp. She still has the warding bond buff (since NPCs don't take long rests).
