Also - drink a potion as a MINOR? Totally sweet.
PHB lists Drink a potion as a minor action, but our DM makes us ready the potion with a minor action and then drink it with another minor. This means taking two turns or having to swap a move or a standard for a minor to do it in one turn. Is that how it is supposed to work?

Raises hand...
Out of my whole gaming group (6 PCs total), the first time we sat down to toss dice in the 4e world only one (My wife) correctly used the + Con score to determine HP. The rest of us just added our Con modifier. Out of the six we had a total of 3 knocked down due to less than 0 HP and one of those three, after being healed, got knocked down again and died.
My wife was a proud woman after that encounter when she realized what had happend.

Yes. Drinking the potion assumes you already have it in hand. You need to draw it using a minor action first. (Quickdraw allows you to draw it as a free action).

Minor to pull it out of a bag, minor to drink. Unless you get quick draw, in which case you can draw it with the same action you use to use it.

Also, it's a standard action to equip a shield (PHB 289)

Probably thinking that you aren't always keeping a potion in hand. It would then be a minor action to pull it from your pack.

When you used different words than RAW, you presented an interpretation that can be misconstrued as meaning "you have to wait 18 hours to take another extended rest."
Forgive me if I missed your point, but I did not understand the purpose of your post. I used both RAW and the implication of it:
---
'Per PHB p.263:
"An extended rest is at least 6 hours long."
"After you finish an extended rest, you have to wait 12 hours before you can begin another one."
This basically means max once every 18 hrs.'
---
I did not think it could be misconstrued, but if it could, I did not understand the how rephrasing the middle part alleviated that.

So basicly 18 or 12 depending on if you count from the start of the first to the start of the second, or from the end of the first to the start of the second. Still ends up the same amount of hours right ? Anyone want to take a stab at this one for me ?
Slightly related, I havent found any rules on sleep depravity other than there must be 6 hours of sleep in a cycle of 24 hours, otherwise the next extended rest has no effect.
So basicly PC's can stay awake forever 
Doesnt seem right..
This seems to suggest I can be awake for two weeks straight, by simply forfieting my next extended rest.
Sounds very odd to me, but is there anything in the rules about sleep deprevation, or will I have to houserule it if it comes up ?

Back to the powers and effects:
Mountain Breaking Blow Fighter Attack 17
You land a ringing blow, then push your enemy back without
giving other nearby enemies the opportunity to strike you.
Encounter ✦ Martial, Weapon
Standard Action Melee weapon
Target: One creature
Attack: Strength vs. AC
Hit: 3[W] + Strength modifier damage, and you push the
target 3 squares.
Effect: After the attack, you can shift the same distance you
pushed the target. You must end your move adjacent to
the target.
If I miss how can this EFFECT still happen?? I only push the target if I hit it.
That rule that all effects happen even on a miss doesn't make sense. This effect clearly doesn't happen after missing.
Where am I wrong?

The effect does happen after missing, you just shift zero squares.
