And, as you say yourself, the rules tell you they do not stack. So the question, "How do I get these to stack [because I think they should]" is kind of moot.In 5e there is "resistance" and "immunity". You [the fighter] can not have "resistance + resistance." Warding bond, as you said, already gets you resistance no matter what the breath weapon is. You can not have a resistance + a resistance to give you immunity (or 1/4 save for 1/8th damage, as in previous editions). It's just not how the system is set up to work. And it says so.If you want to have the Protection from Energy on the cleric while the fighter has the Warding Bond and the cleric is taking the damage from the WB, mitigated by the Pro from Energy, that seems to make sense. The cleric is not "getting resistance" from WB, they are just taking on the damage the fighter is taking. So you're [the cleric is] not "doubling up" on resistance.</blockquote>
