I'm running a rogue, and through backstory shenanigans, he has a patron residing in his soul. I want to multiclass into warlock to bring this out, and the way I see it, I have two main options.
1. Soul Knife Rogue 14 Fiend Warlock 6
Rogue 14 gets me a 7d6 sneak attack and the invis soul knife ability at 13. Fiend warlock 6 gets me dark one's own luck and a few eldritch invocations.
Since I have pretty low level spell slots, this build would be more rogue focused, using warlock spells for utility.
2. Soul Knife Rogue 11 Fiend Warlock 9
Rogue 11 only sacrifices 1 sneak attack d6, leaving me at 6d6. In return, I get more eldritch invocations and higher level spells with warlock. With 9 levels in it, I could run a pact of the blade sneak attack set up, using the thirsting blade, eldritch smite, and life drinker invocations, and maybe armor of shadows for an AC of 18. (If i do choose this one, Im planning to ask the DM if my patron, the God of Violence, could have some sort of divine weapon that I channel with pact of the blade. I doubt it would be a broken magic weapon, but it would still be fun for lore reasons.)
Which multiclass option would be better? If there are any other better splits, please let me know.
