I Found a neat trick.

I created a cleric hireling that stays in base and I use them for casting aid on my 4 active characters.
But I also discovered that you can cast Warding Bond on them.
So if I have a 'camp wizard' and 'camp cleric', I can have longstrider, aid and warding bond cast on my 4 active characters. :)

(Your camp cleric will die if you take enough damage on your active characters, but it's pretty cheap to revive them) It would make sense to maximise their HP to make the warding bond last as long as possible.

Even better, hero's feast can be used on everyone in camp, if they are too spread out you can gather them up with bard perform

This "trick" sounds awful lot like abusing a known bug ;)

I used to do that, get hirelings from various classes and cast bonuses on my main party in the camp, it´s just annoying to switch between characters, I wish larian figured out a better system for switching characters

I don't see how this is bugged, seems like the spells are working as intended?

Oooh. Never thought to round 'em up with a little music. Noice.

I'd expect any proper organisation to have support characters that provide buffs and stay in a safe place, in real life. Why not in a game?

Going through the game with only 3 people sounds like a great idea.

It's not a bug. You can use characters to buff others. Buffs that last until long rest and don't require concentration are not dependent on the character staying in your group.

You can do Heroes' Feast, Freedom of Movement, Protection from Poison and Longstrider after every rest besides the ones already mentioned just to name a few.

You haven't found the wedding rings in the shadowlands huh?
It's practically canon to use bonding ward over long distances 😂
