[QUOTE="Logan1138, post: 6653175, member: 6796750"] Are you aware that you would need to have the Dual Wielding feat in order to use a rapier in one hand and a short sword in the other because the rapier is NOT a light weapon? Personally, if I were the DM, I would not allow that second scenario (use first attack with the rapier and the second attack with the other hand weapon, in this case a short sword) because the Two-weapon fighting entry is worded such that it would seem that you have to attack with the same weapon for your "main" attack in the Attack action and then your other hand is used for the bonus attack. Thus, if the rapier is your "main" hand you have to make both of your "regular" attacks with that hand and then use your bonus action to attack with your other hand (i.e. the one holding the short sword) leaving you with no other bonus action to take for a martial arts attack.
