Do this 3 spells stack?
Warding Bond, Stoneskin and Blade Ward. Do they stack? like... i know that they make the incoming damage in half. But with this 3 spells would it work like

incoming damage is 200
stoneskin buff would reduce it to 100
blade ward would reduce it to 50
warding bond would reduce it to 25

i know it only work against Bludgeoning, Piercing and Slashing. Kinda curious if they work like that, if they stack of course.

I don't think they do. Resistance doesn't stack like that. The protected target would take half damage and the warding bond caster would take the same damage before their own resistances were calculated.

No, they do not stack.
They give resistance which does not stack.
Warding Bond gives resistance to all damage but with the disadvantage that the spellcaster takes the same amount of damage.

If it was dos2 - it would work.
In bg3/dnd resistance can’t be stacked.
You can’t reduce damage using just a resistance more then by half.
Some armour gives -2-4 incoming damage for a certain attack type.
But with a shield master feat you can ignore whole incoming damage for the Dex save DC type.
Using warding bond with an advantage on concentration save is ok, unless you want to test 6-7 attacks at once (since in bg3 for SOME STRANGE REASON you somehow can roll 1-1 roll dices with the advantage).

Resistances do not stack.

Now, if you had something like an Abjuration Wizard's Arcane Ward or Heavy Armor Master's flat damage reduction, those would stack, though I'm unsure which order they are applied in BG3.
