Elder Evils/Great Old Ones

[FleshEatingBlackFlutterby]

Hello, everyone,

I have questions about Elder Evils/Great Old Ones.
How are they handled in Ascension (D&D 3.5/Pathfinder 1E)?
Are they the same thing?
Do they need converting?
If so, how would you convert them in your setting?

PS:Had to edit my thread due to a glitch in the matrix.

Was also going to ask a second question about SATAN/Lucifer and whether or not he qualifies as an Elder Evil or Great Old One.

Elder evil are only in D&D for copyright while Great Old Ones are original of Lovecraft and the Chaosium publisher (the one of the Call of Cthulhu RPG). They are similar but with a lot of differences with each others and what they want. Paizo, the creatore of Pathfinder, paid the Chaosium for using Great Old Ones and all the other creations of Lovecraft in PF1e.

While for making them with the Ascension rules, i have an entire thread on the forum here with templates for Great Old Ones and Outer Gods, monsters, and player options.
Lucifer is nothing of both. The Ascension place him as an Aspect of Satan (the First One of the Elemental planes) and thus as a Lesser Deity power bond to the dicotomy angel/devils in the cosmology and not bound to the eldritch horror of elder evils or great old ones. But in my cosmology i decided to make him a unique Balseraph (a corrupted seraphim described at page 39 of Ascension equivalent in power to an Old One) not connected to Satan.
