[RPG] Which incarnation is created by True Resurrection when used on a reincarnated creature

character-deathdnd-5emagicresurrection

Reincarnate creates a new body for a creature who has died.

True Resurrection is able to create a new body for a creature when the original no longer exists. What happens when a reincarnated creature dies and True Resurrection is used to bring them back?

For example, Bob is born a Human. He dies and his reincarnated as a Rock Gnome. He falls into a volcano at some point in his adventures and is extremely dead as a result.

His Cleric friend casts True Resurrection, says 'Bob' is whom they seek to resurrect and Bob should appear within 10' of the Cleric.

Does the Human form of Bob appear or the more recent Rock Gnome version?

Best Answer

Bob will come back human

Reincarnate implies that Bob, although inhabiting a rock gnome's body, is still human:

The magic fashions a new body for the creature to inhabit...

In this case, Bob is the creature, and he's been allowed through the use of reincarnate to inhabit another body.
