A tiefling cleric casts Warding Bond on a human. That human takes 10 fire damage. How much damage does the tiefling cleric take?
The Warding Bond description says (regarding the target):
it has resistance to all damage. Also, each time it takes damage, you take the same amount of damage.
So, the human takes 5 damage, the tiefling takes 5 damage. Keeping in mind that it will be still fire damage, won't it be mitigated to 2 damage due to the Hellish Resistance? Or does "you take the same amount of damage" imply it ignores all resistances and vulnerabilities? Since "take damage" basically is the game term, that means "subtract hit points".
Warding Bond: What is the Order of Operations for calculating cleric damage taken? is related, but it's about the target's resistance, not about the caster's.

The fire resistance would be fine in this case as confirmed by J Crawford:

Normally resistances wouldn't stack (as per PHB 197) however the Tiefling Cleric's resistance would take effect as the Tiefling Cleric is not benefiting from "double resistance". The Human target has only 1 resistance (the ward), and the Tiefling has only 1 resistance (racial feature).
