So making them just a little higher, which was after all perfectly practical - 28 feet is the average, so some are certainly taller - makes the "problem" of Eladrin begin able to teleport to the top of them rather irrelevant. It's also possible to have a moat wider than thirty feet, if you're still worrying about Eladrin invasion. Real people devise counter-measures to real ways of attacking, and I doubt if fictional people wouldn't be able to devise counter-measure to fictional methods of attack. Especially when they're as simple as making walls slightly higher than your normal ones.Edit: And come to think of it, a dry ditch instead of a moat easily adds another few feet to the distance required to teleport onto the walls when you stand at the bottom of them.</blockquote>
