Lots of creatures in DND don't seem to wear clothes, so I'm not sure they would see it as required to keep clothes on characters.  We usually keep "on camera" stuff PG, so they can have a loin cloth maybe, but I guarantee you my players would rather use a loincloth as a garrote or a sling than preserve their dignity.Many great scenarios have resulted from capturing:I had a low level cleric use his craft (woodworking) to craft a holy symbol from the bones of those who had died in their cell.One part of a campaign centered around rescuing a PC from a mine.  The player played his cohort for a while.  We got a great story with some cool mythic elements out of it.Several professionally written adventures involve capture and escape, so I'm not sure you can say it is completely bad form.As a player, it happened to me recently in a published adventure, and I didn't mind.</blockquote>
