D&D 5E Rogue Bard! What subclass for bard?

[ManBagel]

I plan on making a skill monkey character rogue/bard combo that isn’t meant to be the best build. 3 levels of bard for that expertise and the subclass. I’m having trouble picking between UA Satire and Lore. I get the same amount of skill proficiencies since I got Deception, and Thieves Tools. The main focus is there abilities.
Satire:
Tumbling Fool
At 3rd level, you master a variety of acrobatic techniques that allow you to evade danger. As a bonus action, you can tumble. When you tumble, you gain the following benefits for the rest of your turn:
• You gain the benefits of taking the Dash and Disengage actions.
• You gain a climbing speed equal to your current speed.
• You take half damage from falling.

Lore:
Cutting Words
Also at 3rd level, you learn how to use your wit to distract, confuse, and otherwise sap the confidence and competence of others. When a creature that you can see within 60 feet of you makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a damage roll, you can use your reaction to expend one of your uses of Bardic Inspiration, rolling a Bardic Inspiration die and subtracting the number rolled from the creature's roll. You can choose to use this feature after the creature makes its roll, but before the DM determines whether the attack roll or ability check succeeds or fails, or before the creature deals its damage. The creature is immune if it can't hear you or if it's immune to being charmed.

My character rolled high Charisma being an 18. I thinking tumbling fool is better then cunning action since it’s two of the abilities and a bunch of added bonuses.

Go with Cutting Words.

Your Rogue is already going to have Cunning Action. Period. So even if Tumbling Fool is better in your opinion, they still are partially redundant to one another. So you'll spend your turn choosing whether to use your bonus actions for one or the other.

Cutting Words, on the other hand, doesn't require a bonus action. So you don't have to trade off using one class feature for another if you take this.

In the two years I've been running campaigns, there's been maybe a dozen times where a faster climbing speed and/or reduced fall damage would have helped my players in any real way. Whereas Cutting Words is going to be useful in just about any combat you get into.

If the choice is between these two, and you're committed to being a Rogue anyway, Cutting Words is easily the better option.

Agreed with Fenris447. Go Cutting Words with Lore.
