Hello all, my fiancé and I were joking about a tiny house with chicken legs for a pc. So I was working it out and I was wondering how you would go about doing this? My current ideas are an Artificer, or a College of Creation Bard as it seems these are the most reasonable solutions but I am sure there are other options?

Animated House
Race: Any medium or smaller character, although I personally think this would be best with a small race, due to size restrictions.
Level: 5+, due to only being able to have it walk around for 1 hour per day for free, this works best when you can spend a level 3 spell to get it moving another hour.
Class: Creation Bard 5+: This subclass provides Animating Performance which can basically have a large object such as a cart sized house that will be able to move or even fly.
Feats: Mounted Combatant, this is really interesting as it will protect your house from most reflex save spells and buff your own attacks nicely.
Improvements: Bard 3+, Warlock 5, it really doesn't matter what type as this is entirely to get short rest regenerating 3rd level spell slots, to always be able to have the house able to walking or flying. This will also reduce the amount of Bard levels you technically need although I would personally take it to 5 first. This is also even more interesting if your DM rules, that you can rest in your house while its walking around.
Other Notes: Remember it is entirely reasonable to have it give the rider cover, if you have to just ask how much a small wooden wall weighs and have one installed like a castle's battlements. It should be noted that this thing will be able to carry a lot, so it is entirely reasonable to have it set up as a platform with legs and a basic camping spot early on, and slowly build the house up over time.

Steel Castle
Class: Artificer 4, Battlesmith
Race: Small only...
Feats: Mounted Combatant
Issues: The steel defender is much weaker physically, can't fly, and is only medium size unlike the Dancing Object from the Creation Bard, but an artificer can add on some benefits that can help with this through their infusions. Gauntlets of Ogre Strength to increase its carry weight for example. All in all, I don't think this is nearly as good as the Bard version.
