I was playing through Honour Mode and noticed myself taking a lot more damage from Warding Bond than I expected. After spending a couple of hours trying to work out what was causing it, and creating test characters with almost all mods disabled (excluding this one, its dependency and the Unlock XP curve mods to easily test it), I finally realised what I think is causing it.
The extra damage taken by the Warding Bond caster wasn't reliable in my testing, sometimes it was 2, sometimes it was 3, and other times it was 4. Then I realised, this is just the proficiency bonus of the specific Steel Defender I had summoned at the time, likely being incorrectly applied to Warding Bond.
The attached screenshot is of a level 9 Steel Defender (the point at which it gets a +4 proficiency) being hit for 3 damage, which gets reduced to 1, and the Warding Bond caster taking 5 damage.
