DnD 5e - Monastic Tradition: Way of the Blowfish
This one I definitely had the most fun developing out of the rest, and it was a bit of a challenge to balance the subclass around a duel-ending puffkiss feature at 6th level.

After reading the conditions, this seems really, really strong. Yes, it's a full action to inflate and at level 6 the puffkiss is 1/3 of your ki points base, but having what feels like a reasonably reliable way to potentially instant kill anything feels a little too good, unless my understanding of 5E combat is that sorely lacking.
The big balancing factor in all of this is the amount of rolls needed to get into grapple, maintain the grapple for the round, and then an apposing check to initiate, with the upper hand lost if they fail that final roll. Kiss of the Blowfish's specialty is dismantling duels or taking a specific foe out of the fight, but becomes weak if a third party steps in. The size limitation of grapples also ensure the monk doesn't pull this trick on unreasonable scales, you can't puff-kiss a Tarrasque without serious help from wizards.
Great for removing that pesky pluck-damage cultist or bandit out of the equation, but lord help them if they tried this on the dragon!
