If you’re Legless, you must fight from the ground at the usual penalties (-4 to attack, -3 to defend) and can’t do anything that requires legs, such as Knee Strike or any kick or leg-based grapple.
Slithers: As Legless, unless [exceptions for snake-grappling sidestepping NFM]

There's a follow on article nominally for Technical Grappling in a Pyramid (3/61 "way of the warrior"), that looks at the posture penalty table from the POV* of horizontal creatures but I see no reason why it can't be generally applied beyond TG.
  • As I pointed out Pyramid 3/61 goes into how to adjust osture penalty table* for horizontal things.
    • which appears to be written from the perspective of upright humanoids.

Martial Arts assumes Horizontal + No Legs (Slithers), but yes, we weren't very clear about that.

Vicky molokh in http://forums.sjgames.com/showpost.php?p=2154253&postcount=6 follows up:

No Legs is different than Legless, but do note that No Legs (Slithers) says to use the modifiers of Legless. (This reply is based on the RAW alone; Kromm's reply makes things look different.)
