Be a Bard with Expertise in Athletics and Acrobatics, take the Cure Wounds, Longstrider and Enhance Ability spells.
Become a professional athlete and right before each game cast Longstrider and Enhance Ability on yourself and every hour after that until the game is over. And if you ever get injured, heal yourself in the locker room and get back out there.
I was avoiding magic in my examples, but if spellcasting is taken then those would be viable options.
I think there are some living athletes that can burst-run even faster than that, but I dont think any would be able to maintain the consistency of speed a PC would. Endurance-wise the pC might be the absolute best.
Demo_N I think those are some nice spells to have and the Bard has access to all those, plus healing and way better skills, plus expertise.
While the Bard has the edge in Skills, the Wizard has the edge in number of spells, a level 4 Illusionist Wizard with ritual caster has 14 spells and 5 cantrips, whereas a Level 4 Bard with ritual caster has 7 spells, 3 cantrips, and 2 rituals.
Skills are something anyone can have, but magic is something only the DnD character could have, so that's why I think Wizard would have the edge.
And while they don't have healing the Wizards would mainly focus on crime so healing wouldn't be that necessary. And the Wizard does have spells that the Bard doesn't, like Levitate, Misty Step, Spider Climb, Rope Trick, etc.
The Wizard class gets ritual casting as a class feature, I would take Magic Initiate Wizard Feat instead as you gain 2 cantrips and another 1st level spell.
So then maybe a Human Variant with the Lucky Feat, 1st level Rogue and 3 levels of Lore Bard. That would get you a ton of skills and expertise in 4 skills.

Since it's a level 4 variant human you could have both, but the reason I said Ritual Caster was if you took spells like Unseen Servant and Tenser's Floating Disk you could copy them into your Spell book and be able to cast them regularly and not just a rituals.
I'm not entirely sure about how much you could make or how successful your would be with larceny, but you could probably make decent amount, although while I had initially disregarded the Martial classes, one of them could probably make more as an athlete.

Add in Enhance Ability spell and you should be unbeatable. Plus, have Cure Wounds for those instances you get injured.
Heck, you might even be able to take it to another level of awesomeness if you have the Lucky Feat.
Sorry about the double post, I wasn't sure the first one went through.

But how could that possibly make the richest 4th Level character in our current World.
