Min/Max Boards

I was looking into the Animated Object monster class/race and the Intelligent Item class, and both of them have things I like, like how levels of Intelligent Item can be levels of sorcerer or initiator levels, but I like the idea of being able to hop around like the characters from beauty and the beast, or the hat from Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap. I also like the Animated Object blind or grappling abilities. I just wish there was a way to mix the two! Any ideas?
