Hey all, i am playing as a soulknive rogue in a curse of strahd campaign. ( fits the setting kinda) If i go to multiclass with bard which school should i choose? Or is this the complete wrong take? Is there another class which fits ok, like a fighter would be great for extra attack or a warlock to have a bit of spell backup. What do you think?

My two cents is that multiclassing should be driven first and foremost by what seems cool or fun, then looking at story consideration, and finally looking at optimization. Rogue is one of the best classes for MC, it has endless synergy with basically every other class, so I don't think there is a wrong answer in terms of viability. Rogue/bard is super fun, allowing for a super versatile character in terms of being the face and skillmonkey, rogue/fighter is a potent martial combination, and warlock rogue has neat RP potential and some nice interplay between invocations and roguish abilities (darkness, mask of many faces, etc.)

How has you character been played so far? A dashing trickster would lend itself to bard (swords, whisper, or lore), a deadly and efficient assasssin would lend itself to fighter (BM or echo knight if allowed), or a curious seeker of secrets would lend itself to warlock (hex blade is the best choice for a mixed martial imo).

Hex blade won't work with Soul Knife, since Soul Knife doesn't use real weapons

Ah, damn, you are totally right!
