Roll weight is the game’s own lottery weighting — higher means it appears more often when a random trait is rolled. It is a relative weight, not a percentage, and the game files contain no table converting it to one.
Pals born with Hermit Sage
No Pal is born with Hermit Sage — it can only appear as a rolled trait, or be inherited from a parent that already carries it. Palworld’s files contain no inheritance probability table, so anyone quoting you odds for that is estimating.

Hermit Sage gives -50%. Nothing in the game beats that, so this is the one to keep. A lower number is better here — the game stores the benefit as a negative.

Passives that move the same stat, nearest first: Heart of the Immovable King (-20), Workaholic (-15), Positive Thinker (-10), Unstable (+10) and Destructive (+15). A Pal can carry four, so the practical question is which four — breeding for passives covers how they are inherited.
There is an item for this one specifically — Disposable Implant: Hermit Sage— which changes a Pal’s passive rather than leaving it to breeding.
