My bad, I thought it was the mod that added Pet Pal onto a wand. Adding talents to items doesn't work currently. Another way you might be able to add talents to players is adding talents to the CharacterStat. While the hero characters all derive from _Hero, I actually found that all characters derived their stats from the Human Male hero, at least in the Alpha mode. So you could try adding it to the human male hero stat and then players wouldn't be able to replace the talent in character creation. May also then apply to existing characters, but not sure about that.
