I wish to confirm my readings of the rules. Does the Hexblade Warlock feature "Hexblade's Curse" stack with magic missile (a spell from the sorcerer and wizard spell list). Specifically on the first benefit of Hexblade's Curse. I know the 2nd benefit does not work because magic missile does not require an attack roll.
Hexblade's Curse
Starting at 1st level, you gain the ability to place a baleful curse on someone. As a bonus action, choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The target is cursed for 1 minute. The curse ends early if the target dies, you die, or you are incapacitated. Until the curse ends, you gain the following benefits:
You gain a bonus to damage rolls against the cursed target. The bonus equals your proficiency bonus.
Any attack roll you make against the cursed target is a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 on the d20.
If the cursed target dies, you regain hit points equal to your warlock level + your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1 hit point).
You can’t use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.
Magic Missile
You create three glowing darts of magical force. Each dart hits a creature of your choice that you can see within range. A dart deals 1d4+1 force damage to its target. The darts all strike simultaneously and you can direct them to hit one creature or several.
Would this mean that each dart from magic missile cast at a 1st-level spell slot at level 2 (Hexblade 1/Sorcerer 1) will deal 1d4+1+2?
If my assumption is correct this could have a lot of damage potential when added with Eldritch Blast (assuming the same way as above) and using sorcery points to make eldritch blast or magic missile cast using a bonus action.
Well, if we would consider a hexblade 1/Sorcerer X multiclass. Then we could use both eldritch blast and magic missile by relying on the meta magic Quicken Spell.
I do believe this works. And Crawford's tweet seems to verify that idea. He's talking about Eldritch Blast in particular, but says it works with any damage roll.

Yes, it should work with magic missile.
thats going to be a lot of damage.
Sure, but warlocks only have a few spell slots. Magic missile isn’t the big thing to watch out for. That’s eldritch blast.

Yes , since Magic Missile is a damage roll.
so max samage on a turn for a warlock1/sorcerer1 would be (4+1+2)x3+1d10+2(+5 if agonizing blast is added and CHA mod = 5)
so max dmg is 39 dmg
Haben Iuram, the player of Carnage, the aberrational tiefling necromancer.
and if you crit on the eldritch blast add another ten dmg

Is the extra damage from Hexblade's Curse supposed to apply to Eldritch Blast? (sageadvice.eu)
Well, it would be warlock 2/sorcerer 3 to have access to metamagic and invocations, but yeah

Don't forget about Hex!
Hex does not work as it requires an attack to trigger and MM does not require an attack to hit.
OOOF, I forgot!
