[QUOTE="Trickstergod, post: 3959725, member: 10825"] By the rules, it's completely legitimate. As a role-playing thing, it's a little more questionable. What you can do is just "gussy up" the rules with a ritual or something like that - essentially, point out what the rules allow, then say anyone with enough, say, Knowledge (nature) or the like can "Bind" the magical abilities of a druid by ritually bonding their magical abilities to metal items for 24 hours. So the rules portion is throwing a suit of chain on them. The flavor portion is a ritual of binding that temporarily draws the druid's power into the metal links surrounding him (and you might even add, as a bit of flavor, that destroying the metal "release" the power immediately, rather than needing to wait 24 hours). I'd be ticked off at the rule robbing my druid of his abilities, but I could accept certain flavor-additions to explain it - especially if the flavor bits aren't common knowledge (so the druid doesn't need to get worried about being neutered everytime he's captured, just when in the hands of particularly knowledgeable antagonists).
