Or perhaps their preferences change in that character. You should be able to wield different weapons within your proficiency and 5e has fully embraced that.The reason switching is allowed for spells, weapon style feats etc is that it’s just more fun. Once you accept that switching should be possible the time span isn’t really relevant. A day, a week, a month. The style of campaign then can become punitive by preventing players using the full range of their abilities. Better to keep it simple and let it be done at the start of a new day. It’s not as if it’s likely that they will be changed daily… it’s when something relevant happens in the campaign.</blockquote>
