the Jester
Legend
A high-level archer in my game has an intelligent sword called Shastruth that was a 9th-level sorcerer when he got it; I recently allowed him to spend a couple thousand xp to level it to 10th. The pc is about 18th level right now.
The key to this is to make the pc significantly higher level than the sword; otherwise it's almost as good as a cohort. (Although an 'item cohort' feat might be cool, actually...)
Alternatively, if you're a rbdm, you could make it more powerful than the pc and have it dominate him and seek some nefarious goal of it's own.
