Two questions for you on the subject of the gautiere:
a) Are they ever found on orbs of Carceri other than Minethys?
b) Is there a 3rd/3.5ed version of their stats?

They are found on the various orbs of Minethys... and possibly on other layers as well. Even the Carcerian petitioners can move about the layers (Planes of Conflict, p.12), so I don't see why they can't. But I'd say, they are not likely to do so, since they are particularly suited to desert environment and Minethys is the only desert layer of Carceri.

I don't know any conversion for this creature and it's not in the Creature Catalogue. But it shouldn't be too difficult to convert, I think.

A gautiere is a gaunt, gray, nomadic humanoid with clawed hands and wrapped in rags. They may be related to the tiere, who imprisoned their own god. A gautiere usually advances as ranger, which is their favored class. However, a few (2%) have wizard as their favored class instead. A gautiere may not become a priest of any specific deity or pantheon, but ur-priest may appeal to them.

Acidify Touch (Su): A gautiere can make a special touch attack 1/day to transform the flesh of the touched into acid, causing 3d6 acid damage, half of the damage is vile damage. (Vile damage can only be healed in a consecrated or hallowed area.) Make a DC 15 fortitude save for half damage. Save DC is constitution-based.

Skills: A gautiere gets +4 racial bonus on survival checks in desert terrains.

Xaen: This is a 2-handed spiked and hooked battle-staff favored by the gautiere, who may use it as a martial weapon instead of an exotic weapon. A xaen is a double-weapon like quarter-staff, which can be used to make an extra attack as if using two weapons.

Cost: 25 gp; Damage: 1d10/1d10 (M); Critical: x2; Weight: 7 lbs.; Type: bludgeoning and slashing.

Converted from Planes of Conflict Monstrous Supplement.
