Continuing from the title: If so would this mean that when it wins a test of wills for control over a character it can use the powers of the class it has levels in, as if the character had those levels.
If the GM decides that it can, yes. Otherwise not.
Also do you think this would work ability score wise: Takes the physical scores of whatever body it is taking over, and keeps mental scores of some amount.

I found this as I was reviewing the intelligent items page and found this which made me rethink what you said.
Magically imbued with sentience, these items think and feel the same way characters do and should be treated as NPCs.[/url]
So theoretically it could take levels in any class since a npc can. Now the only problem would be if it could actually give powers from the class it has taken levels in.
Yes, intelligent items can have class levels.
Can a player add class levels to his PCs' intelligent item? No.
Would those boost the item's HP? Neat.

Indeed.
Had an NPC built this way, had lost control to his magic ring decades ago...
I let the ring USE his class levels though, it didn't have any of its own.

Using the vile leadership feat I was actually planning on having a cohort who was a necklace. I would go around using beguiling gift, or just the enemies greed to get them to wear it. Then the amulets overwhelming ego would kick in and I could control the npc as if he were my cohort. I would use the NPCs physical ability scores for the physical scores, and the rings scores for mental.
But this is what I don't get: Would the NPC body my necklace cohort had taken over allow him to use spells with somatic components, or perhaps use bloodline powers and such if he is a bloodrager, or even use rage powers as a straight up barbarian.

Just want to say thank you posters for giving me the villain for my next campaign arch.
To what extent can a intelligent item grow limbs. Could it possibly grow a whole body?

It could create a Lesser Simulacrum and then attempt to take control. Or take levels in a class that allows the growing of additional limbs. Or it could already be a whole body (scarecrow? doll?) and then animate itself.

This gives me an idea. What if the item was used by a homoculus, and the reason the item has a soul. Reverse roles, kinda...
Anyway the problem with both these ideas is the fact that it lacks limbs to create such items, so first it would need someone to create it for them, or an original that can create more.
The sword could be a summoner and have a human-esque looking eidolon that wields it and interacts with the people?

Earthbreaker hammer, but anyway I was hoping to go Barbarian or Bloodrager due to it being prone to anger if you go against its ideals.
