OGC equivalents to Yuan-ti?

[Kinak]

The Ophiduans have the empire thing down, but the Illujans are cult leaders who believe themselves the children of a god. I don't have to merge them, but I think I could get some mileage out of the Illujans being an ancient splinter group of the Ophiduan empire.

I'd tend to agree with making them connected. Having two similar serpent races is confusing. Having one serpent race with a splinter group increase verisimilitude and makes everything easier for people to keep track of.

Cheers!

I noticed that the Slayer's Guide to Serpentfolk has some open game content. What does anyone think if I use that information as part of a supplement on Ophiduans?

Though for a yaun-ti "replacement," the serpent folk are the exact right call as the former are, imo, actually replacements for the latter and its just the wheel going full circle back to the beginning.

Thing is paizo's serpent folk right out of the book are not much of a dungeon encounter unless they have some offensive items to UMD. Sure they fit the bill for Kull's antagonist, but a 8 str, suggestion 1/day, dagger and barely poisonous bite is not going to do much when it is time to roll init.

One assumes that adding class levels would be the way to go. Also, for some of them, the advanced template.
