The Ultra-Shifter (3.5)

[JohnnyMayHymn]

How about Item familiar? 

I mean, as long as you're a Wizard...     

This could get crazy with items that have charges... it can even be done in e6

EDIT: wait, at 7th level, "It gains Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores."; so does that mean the items are 'creatures'?  Now you can have two Items, or two Dragons or two Special Mount-Familiars or whatever at any given time?

Any other way to combine your familiar with something else? Familiar/animal companion would work.
EDIT: Arcane hierophant does not work, since it just makes your animal companion more like a familiar.

Actually, the Arcane hierophant's animal companion gets the special abilities that his familiar would get.  Though, considering the wording, this is kind of stretching it.
