Why hasn't Sabine ever changed her skin color?

[Rodin]

"It doesn't matter" seems to be the best answer. To quote one Sir Pterry, "Racism was not a problem on the Discworld, because — what with trolls and dwarfs and so on — speciesism was more interesting. Black and white lived in perfect harmony and ganged up on green."

If it's your natural skin color and nobody bats an eye anyway, why change it?

With the recent events concerning Tarquin and Nale, I'd keep an eye on Laurin. I still think Sabine is going to turn into her at some point, as soon as she's convinced the Order to steal that ring for her. That's totally what she wanted from V in exchange for the information, although just giving them the advantage would have been good enough.

It's interesting that she's never on-panel impersonated anyone who was known to the people she was fooling.

I think that Sabine would have trouble passing as Laurin since it would be difficult for her to replicate Laurin's psionic abilities. This is probably why Sabine prefers to represent relatively powerless characters (guards and the like).

She impersonated a Blood guard who was apparently known to others as "steve" once.

Aside from that, if she did impersonate Laurin, then that would be the first time we saw her change her skin tone. Both Laurin and Amun-Zora (another common impersonation candidate) have skin tones that are several shades darker than Sabine's, so if she kept it the same it would be pretty obvious.

She impersonated a Blood guard who was apparently known to others as "steve" once.

As far as this particular example goes, she and Nale had been lurking within the Empire of Blood for quite a long time by then. It is entirely possible that she "invented" the persona of Steve and joined the castle guards in that form for the purposes of long-term undercover activity rather than taking the place of an existing guard named Steve.

[Kish]

She impersonated a Blood guard who was apparently known to others as "steve" once.

One of the guards called him Steve and the other one said, "I didn't know his name was Steve."

[Keltest]

One of the guards called him Steve and the other one said, "I didn't know his name was Steve."

The fact that Steve was not known by name to every guard in the palace does not disprove anything.

Kilian may have a point, but there isn't any more evidence to that theory than the one that she simply use the appearance of a guard she remembered.

That's a ridiculous yet perfect answer. Have cookies.

What color are the cookies? If they are the same color as Sabine, than they might be Sabine shapeshifted into cookie form!

I cannot imagine that ending well for Sabine under any circumstance

That's how she'll get Tarquin!
Unless he has Cold Iron or Good dentures or fillings, him biting her cookie-form won't hurt her at all; but being in his mouth should be close enough to an "act of passion" or "kiss" for her Energy Drain to take effect. Then she just has to hope that he fails his save on the Suggestion effect to keep on nibbling.

(Out before the "Of COURSE Tarquin would have Cold Iron fillings!" argument starts.)

He won't because he isn't expecting Sabine's revenge!

I find this sentence to be inordinately hilarious.

There are so many vulgar comments coming to mind involving succubi and getting eaten...

[grandpheonix]

Cuz shes sexy that way.

: How do you like your meal now, ****?

: I'm finding it, uh, filling but the portions are too, um... small?

If Sabine informed Tarquin that she had had the same conversation with Roy, that would really annoy Tarquin.
:How dare you compare me to that insignificant side-hero?!?
