[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 1279388, member: 8461"] Okay, so by now we've all seen the new Monster Mayhem over at WotC's site detailing the [URL=http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/mm/20031219a]Void creatures[/URL]. What I wanted to know was, these creatures all have the Void subtype. Now (d20 products notwithstanding), I've never seen that subtype before. Where did WotC introduce it?
