Why does Hoofed cost 1 RP when its main effect is to make a whole lot of magic items useless to me?
I am trying to make my anthro-equines and this foot segregation is really confusing me.

DM fiat your boots to horseshoes. You re-fit those boots of teleportation to horseshoes of teleportation.
Also, 'Quadruped' refers to a creature with 4 limbs. The entry for 'Quadruped' should be for 'Centroid', or Centaur structure. I do like the forethought of allowing fore extra limbs and their effect. A friend's game has ERB overtone, including 6 legged 'horse' mounts. No Green Martians as yet...
As I read it hoofed should be 0-point feature. It's "benefit" is a very minor one, certainly not worth that 1 RP.

I don't want to nag, but it would behoof you to just say neigh to puns!
By the way, am I the only one who thought this was about horse races?

Nope, you weren't only one.
As it stands in the playtest, it should be a - RP cost. I suppose you could make a kick/hoof natural attack at -5 BAB (and a penalty to your class BAB for other attacks), but why?... it's mathematically awful.
Maybe if it gave a bonus versus stepping on caltrops & like goat hooves, offered a Climb or difficult terrain bonus. Even then, maybe.
Depending on the terrain, hooves might actually give a penalty to Climb checks. And I can't really imagine something like a Satyr, Faun or Draenei really bothering to stomp people with their hooves. On a side-note, don't Minotaurs have hooved feet? (Just wondered since I made my own homebrew race with hooves, and found it annoying that it actually cose me 1 Racial point, which forced my race into using a total of 20.)

In a faint effort to bring it back on topic. I was also wondering why quadruped requires the base creature to be large and why its a monstrous ability.
Unfortunately a running theme seems to be "if it ain't shaped like a human it has to be monstrous", the actual standards of your personal setting be damned. :(
While Quadruped as Large does help me with one of my races(well, the chassis of quadruped at least) I can see a LOT of folks having ideas that need Quadruped to work for medium or smaller races.
And a big +1 to everyone complaining about Hoofed. There is no real good reason for it to be locked out for standard races.
That's a poor fix.
It worked for the Horde and Alliance. /shrug
