A DM could at their discretion dispense you from having to go through this sequence every turn by allowing you to stow your Rapier away in its scabbard and retrieve it in the same turn for the purpose of re-loading your Hand Crossbow, or simply rule that you get to reload the Hand Crossbow with a Rapier in hand.Ī DM wouldn't be breaking much by allowing you to do that given that you always pick your weapon back up at the end of the turn so you're never in a situation where un-handing your Rapier matters, unless you're fighting in an uncommon situation such as a steep incline, a tight rope or the surface of a liquid when using some water walking magic. You will obviously look very silly doing so. You're now back to having both a Rapier and a loaded Hand Crossbow in hand. Finally you can use your item interaction to pickup the Rapier.
