Pest isn't OP because it only becomes Pestilence usually later in the game, and by then the roles become so limited it's usually easy to deduce who Pestilence is. As soon as Pestilence appears they're usually lynched rather quickly. 1v1's with Pestilence are extremely rare.

The whole point of the role is to be unable to be killed at night, and only by lynching. You are taking away the entire point of the role with this role. It's also a hardcounter, which is generally frowned upon.
