Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

Interesting problem, only 15 hcp and a void in partner's first bid suit. I would still reverse with 2D because I have an 8 trick hand. I will bid 3C next if allowed. No guarantees.

2c with a void in pards spades
sometimes I have a max.
I really dont see an 8 trick hand until we find a fit.

3♣.
If you have a diamond fit, your partner's rebid will let you find it. There might be some duplication in spades, but really you cannot reduce the value of a void to zero just because your partner has bid that suit. Additionally all your points are in Aces and Kings.

2♣ for me.

2D. Looking forward to another discussion with mikeh who bids 3C because the hand is not good enough to bid 2D.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

There I was, settling back into BBF, almost forgetting why I took a break. Thanks for reminding me.

2C for me also. The hand is not strong enough to reverse, particularly with a void in partner's suit.

The spade void spells trouble, but you need not live in fear. 2♦.
Who knows? Sometime pard has weak spades and fitting honors for your minors.

Does the ♠ void not argue for caution?, temporarily downgrading until his 2nd bid.
Rebiding 2♣ will not change the chances of a minor suit fit.
I would rather may partner volunteer a 2nd bid based on values, than force him to rebid.

I still dont think this is an 8 trick hand and the spade void is a negative but having thought some more about this I change my bid to 2d even though I think I have broken tempo. 
One club/two clubs could be so much weaker, really weaker that I think I need to take the risk we may get too high.
If pard rebids a weakish 2s/2nt I still have an easy nonforcing rebid of 3c.
