He  refrains from killing people because typically he's ingenious enough to find a way to use them for his own ends, like the main character of Going Postal, not because he would hesitate to kill them if he needed to. Remember he's a former assassin. Lawful Evil, says I.I would have called Granny Weatherwax Chaotic Good. She's very tidy and follows all the rules, true, but they're all rules she made up on the spot. The one thing she can't stand more than anything is for anyone to tell her what to do, no matter how good their motivation. Personal Code != Lawful, remember; Robin Hood had a personal code. Magrat is clearly Neutral Good, on the other hand.What about Susan? I'd almost say True Neutral. Maybe Neutral Good. She's willing to play by the rules, sometimes, such as when she stands in for the very Lawful Death. But she also brazenly ignores authority she doesn't respect, like the schoolmistress she works for in Thief of Time. And she's saved the world several times, which might qualify her for Good, but she fights tooth and nail against the mission every time and only saves it when no one else can. She's certainly never evil, though..</blockquote>
